I don't see why causing a nuisance over any period of time should entitle
you to continue it.

Custom and Practice. Those words have some legal resonance.

Is it OK to have slaves then? Or enjoy child prostitutes? Or go thieving?

Custom and practice, don'tcha know.

Oh I *see*. You think that slave, child prostitution, or thieving are
no worse that bell ringing. Gosh, what an odd person you are.

They're all 'custom and practice'.

Not in this country they're not. They are all subject to the criminal
law.

But they weren't until a suitable law was enacted. That's the point.

There is now a suitable law on noise nuisance, and it's called the Environmental
Protection Act. So, that's subject to the criminal law too.
