anti-social pubs (Brighton, E. Sussex, England)

This pub in Brighton (south of England) likes well-behaved children at certain times but is less inclinced to behave well itself. Recently it apparently decided to host a 'DJ Night' at which noise was played at deafening levels while the pub's doors and windows were left open. The racket could be heard several blocks away and the following day more than a few people in this usually quiet, densely populated neighbourhood complained to the council (and presumably the police). I just wonder what people are thinking when they inflict their music on others. Have they no imagination? Is the 'me important, you fuck off' mindset so entrenched that they can't conceive of the impact on people in the vicinity. I don't get it. They are obviously vermin, but what do you do with them. Of course, we should boycott the pub, complain about noise, lobby councils, and so on, but I fear the battle is being lost. People have just no idea of the damage they inflict.

Above all else, I prefer to talk in pubs. If I go out for a drink, it's to socialise. In these circumstances I don't want loud music, I don't even want quiet music. I WANT SILENCE, apart, that is, from the sound of other people talking.
