That's what being away from mainstream British culture for 13 years does for you. How I miss it.
The only time I ever did the competitive/abusive music thing was after several months of living next door to an elderly couple who hosted a small and inept brass band on Sunday mornings. We put up with several months of dismal awakenings, rounds of laughter and smug self-congratulation on the rare occasions they all managed to finish at approximately the same time, before the morning when they decided to start early and play worse than usual. That was when the stereo got turned round to face the (rather thin) wall, and Iron Maiden, I think it was, put on as loudly as possible. After that, they resumed their later starts.
