30 November 2008 04:00 am

This video was shot around 04:00 am on the morning of Sunday 30 November with a mobile phone. This is exactly the kind of thing that wakes us up weekend after weekend. Shouting, car horns, cars zooming past, idiots jumping on the cars - in fact, compared to some weekends this is pretty mild. All the same, it should be clear that the people in the street have no regard whatsoever for anyone living here.

Why do the police not breathalyze all of these drivers? Are we to believe that they have limited themselves to mineral water?

No doubt in subsequent installments we will have the dubious pleasure of publishing clips of the mobile sound systems in action.

Bear in mind that this is merely a two minute clip. This sort of thing goes on for hours. It is particularly bad, as might be expected, around closing time but can start around 23:00 and carry on until 04:30 or thereabouts.

We would not have this amount of traffic at 04:00 in the morning were it not for the presence of Mango's. At the end of the clip there is some classic pointless beeping of car horns of the kind we are all too familiar with.

What this proves to me is that even if there are quieter weekends from time to time, as long as Mango's is there we will be exposed to this nonsense.
