After about thirty seconds of the noise I stood, took my eyes of us getting our annual hammering (no pun intended) at Notlob, and walked to the lounge curtains. When I pulled them back this is what I saw:
The outer layer of the double glazing had cracked. There wasn't any sign of anything hitting it, so stones, dead birds, stray bullets - nothing.
The cracking sound carried on for the next three or four hours, the most bizarre noise I have ever heard inside a house. We've contacted the insurance company and they are sending out an assessor within the next twenty four hours, the double glazing is seven years old and still under guarantee - but the terms of the guarantee state that free replacement will only be available if the glazing is faulty not by damage. Well I've looked all over the glass and whilst you can see where the cracking began there is nothing to suggest external forces were at work.
All we can do now is sit and wait for the insurance man to arrive.

Was us millwall boys cheering mate or was it us laughing at your sorry predicement ,,, your only a poor little hammer less bollocks than shattering glass........
This sounds very mysterious, Paul, especially since the double glazing isn't new.
Let us know what the assessor says.
Ooer have you pissed a brick thrower off?
See I pass Millwall supporters a compliment about there noise and I get insulted!
There's nothing on the outside of the glass to suggest anything as hit it - that's what's so weird.
