Family have 52-inch plasma seized for playing TV too loudly

A family who repeatedly ignored council orders to turn down their TV have had their 52-inch plasma and surround sound system seized.

So? Why is this a story?

It Done did Got seized for playing TV too loudly,...

How does a family on benefits afford a 2500 pound tv and 450 pound sound system? That's roughly $5,000 and $900 Canadian!

[seen it]

What? Huh? Turn the TV down.

[Purple Gurl]

Well, if they are nearly deaf, then they should use hearing aide compatible headphones.

These people are scum. If they are partially deaf, that means they are also partially hearing. You amplify your hearing, not your environmental sounds. Doesn't say they have hearing aids, but I'll bet they don't.

The kids' hearing could also be damaged by all this noise, but I guess that will let them be just like mom and dad, right?

They are lucky they don't have me for a neighbor; they would have the police there every day until they acted like human beings.

Well, I have a 52-inch....bah, forget it

[Drlar]

Dumb story, just take the surround system, why the TV also?

[skipper]

they can have my TV when they pry the remote from my cold dead fingers.

[Beckie Godwin]

I'm sure they were violating noise control laws.
I can't imagine listen to a TV that loud anyway.

[Cheeka-Weeka]

Time for earplugs....or maybe they should return the TV and get hearing aids????

It's easy, I use to live close to a small "poor" town that was next to a meat cutting plant. Nearly everyone in the town were workers there. As you drive thru, several Corvettes, and large TV dishes were seen. I wondered how they could pay for them when I could not afford them. I later figure out (with the help of friends in the business) that with my taxes (to pay for people on welfare) I could not afford them, but the people on welfare (Government paying their rent, food, utilities) had so many bills paid with my tax dollars, that they could buy nice cars and Sat. TV dishes.

Stupid Europeans think that they impress us with their antics and over-kill bull-$h--t!

And their story goes off like something worthy of being known.

Hogwash I say!

[Knowledge Is Good]

Ummm...wireless headphones, anyone?

I'd a thunkit that the first time you get a warning the second time you go to jail for a day or two....
