To the people who kept us awake by singing - I hate you':
Angry neighbour reviews 'terrible' karaoke that stopped him sleeping

  • Oli Beale created a giant complaint letter and pinned it to the board in the communal area of his London block of flats
  • It included the names of songs sung, what time it was followed by a mark out of ten and a short critique
  • 'Your terrace faces 115 windows. I'm sure you are keen to hear our verdict,' he wrote
  • Her karaoke version of Elton John's hit Tiny Dancer got the most praise while Aerosmith and Run DMC's Walk This Way was the worst

Most of us have spent long uncomfortable nights being kept awake by a raucous party at a neighbour's house or flat.

But while the majority will have just buried their head under the duvet and shut all the windows, one Londoner decided to put his inability to sleep to good use and compile a detailed critique of the 'terrible' karaoke that disturbed him.

Oli Beale then pinned a giant newspaper-style review to the board in the communal area of his Hackney block of flats and then posted a picture on Twitter.

His handmade complaint included timings and titles of songs sung, how it was performed and a rating out of 10.

After the 'singing/screaming' finished at 9.10am, his final message to his east London neighbours was simply: 'I hate you'.

The 33-year-old, who works in advertising, wrote to the mystery group who did the 'epic performance' on a balcony in the middle of the night.

I've always wondered why people with karaoke machines always use them outside on their patios, balconys or backyards. Image
