    My neighbours are brilliant !! Lived next to them for 20 yrs. Elderly lady and her son ( moved back after failed marriage ) Elsie has been a never say no babysitter, schoolplay costume maker, cup of tea and homemade cake provider, parcel taker inner, and all round suragate parent and grandparent. Mike ( son ) has been friend, car mechanic, diy handyman, dog walker, house sitter and even fighting buddy. If they move we’ll take them with us.

    My neighbours are not so good…. They have never forgiven me for providing the proof needed for the insurance fraud they commited 😯

    Did laugh as they were carted away in a police van 😆

    Totally great. When we moved in and they saw me cleaning my bikes they bought and installed a hose from their hosepipe for me (we live 1st floor, above them), cleared space in their garage for my bikes and cut me a key, they throw lemons from their tree through our balcony for us to use, let us use their pool, and so much more. We don’t speak much of the same language but we laugh, point and drink beer together every now and then.

    I used to have the best neighbours ever. They threw cracking parties and cooked fantastic food, let me borrow their quads and land rover when I wanted to go to the pub off road and were great to have around. Still great friends a few years later. I miss those guys.

    my neighbours are longtime unemployed,
    burn plastic, old furniture and tyres on bonfires regularly
    keep dogs that sh1t and howl all day
    are still up at 3.30/4am ……
    BUT manage to run large 4×4 vehicles, have 50″ plasma tv`s, caravan, regular holidays away, even own a horse ffs!!
    ….. not the best of neighbours eh

    Same as bighendo, except they don’t have a dog. They have fitted cheap, shitty uninsulated laminate flooring though, so I can have the pleasure of listening to their drunken parties at 3am.

    lol nothing like taking liberties then taxi25! I wonder if they would say you are the best neighbour ever, always asking them to babysit, drop parcels off, fix your car, walk your dog, do up your house etc 😉

    Ours are great. The bloke next doors mows our lawns, front & back – I haven’t had to touch a lawn mower for years.

    Ours are great too. One side unfortunately passed away so waiting with bated breath to see who buys the house.

    I think the nicknames given to our neighbours might give you a clue: Colnel Blood, B******d West & my fav Atilla the Neighbour… and on the other side we have the god squad, mind you the reason we were able to buy the house was a matrimonial after god squads son & daughter each got rather too neighbourly with the vendors…..

    Yin and Yang for me, one side are bloody great, they mow my lawn when I am away, puts my bins out and never cause a seconds problem. The other side are renting the place and I have had to kick off at least twice now (verbally)….. uuurrrghhh

    I think they’re funny although some are just scary!

    My Polsih neighbours down stairs are great, always take the bins out and bring them back in and good to talk to as well.

    Good thread, wish i’d thought of it! 😀

    Mine are sound both sides. A couple of little niggles but nowt worth shouting about. Besides I am sure they have their niggles with me. It could be a lot worse.

    Mine have had police out twice after me. (Once for flying a toy aeroplane, and once more for subsequently telling him to bugger off).

    Nice to know your taxes get well used eh?

    Mine are brilliant on both sides, elderly couple of ex hippies/teachers on one side and a elderly lady of independent means on the other. Brilliant people, the teachers give my kids coaching and lessons twice a week for nowt, do elements of our shared gardening because they enjoy it and are kind and generous. The other lady is my five year olds best mate and is just brilliant takes him out to do meals on wheels at the weekend, has taught both of them all about gardeneing and tree care and has a thriving vegtable garden in her greenhouse for them both, and bearing in mind I blocked her extension I feel she does not owe me!.

    Good people around you is such a bonus.

    I never see my elderly neighbour, but she seems to be very popular, always a big pile of mail and a lot of milk bottles lined up on her doorstep.

    My dad when I was growing up. His work moved him 300 miles away when I was about to start my gcses. I lived with our neighbours during the week while he did a weekly commute.
