They lie like cheap Turkish watch!!!

This is where I live:

My Place!!

It has a very thin ceiling, so if people are walking around in the flat above mine, all I can hear is the thumping of their feet. I'm really not joking when I say that footstairs above me create a kind of drum effect on my ceiling. The footsteps boom through the ceiling, even to the extent where I have to turn up the TV to be able hear it, and the 'booming' can even be heard in the downstairs bathroom, which is two floors below, and at the back of the flat!

The long and short of it is that if people are awake in the flat above me, then I too am awake, as it's impossible to sleep through noise that loud.

Anyway, this is what the estate agents say about an identical flat to mine (without the sea view):

"Sutton High Apartments" comprises a landmark redevelopment within strolling distance of the City Centre, University, historic Barbican, Marina, etc. Now Grade II Listed, this former Victorian school has been recently redeveloped to provide some 37 individual and stunning apartments. The exceptional specification includes an economic sub-floor central heating system, remote video entry system, full sound proofing, individual fire alarm system, cable television connection, secure allocated parking and a quality finish including partial oak strip flooring. The accommodation, which incorporates a first floor mezzanine level, comprises 3 bedrooms (master en-suite), 19' open plan living room, luxury fitted kitchen (appliances), fully tiled principal bathroom and cloakroom/w.c.

Full sound proofing my arse. Maybe if you're already deaf, and the people living above you are dead, then possibly.

Still, lots of people die every day, it happens all the time. I'm just praying that the people upstairs, and their children, are next.
