Couldn't handle kindergarten rock...

Would you believe this? A noise control officer was called out to a kindergarten disco in a New Zealand city recently.

He closed down the disco which had been running for one and a half hours of the planned two hour afternoon session. Why?

A neighbour couldn't handle the loud rendition of "Bob the Builder", so he rang the local council's noise control officer, who arrived rather sheepishly to inform the parent organisers that they had to close the kindergarten aged disco down immediately.

You read about it here first!

Another parent said the music...

couldn't be heard two doors away. The music is obviously not the real reason. Next years disco will be in another suburb, I believe.

Sure Toad,

but I don't know what the problem with the complainant is, so reserve my judgement on him/her.

Some folk are "spoil sports"

but really if it was too loud - you don't explain the circumstances even "Bob the builder" on high octain could be offensive.

In any case no such noise should be so loud - what must it be doing to the children's hearing?
