We have lived in 8 different houses during our married life and we have always had good neighbours wherever we have lived. However, I have to say the friendliest neighbours tend to be old people we have found. Where we live now isn't as friendly, all our neighbours are young, we are the oldest on our street and we don't know anyone at all by name (apart from immediate neighbours) and there are some neighbours I've never even seen!

The bloke of the immediate neighbours is really friendly and chatty but his wife is a bit odd, she will pretend she hasn't seen us and run in the house or not get out of her car until we've got out of ours and gone in the house. I sometimes shout out a loud HIYA so she has no choice as to say hello I can't do with rude and snobby people.

If I thought any of our neighbours needed help I'd be there like a shot, my husband and I are friendly people.

I know from your posts that you are a lovely person LQ.
What a shame you have unfriendly neighbours.
Remember this my lovely. They may need you before you ever need them.

My Cat Coco, meows for me to take her into the Garden and put her on the side gate at 3.30pm most afternoons, because the Primary School kids come along with their Mums and they all like to stroke Coco, and of course she loves it.

Neighbours for a couple of houses up and down are not bad but the 3rd one up is a right B*****D he and his family wife and two kids are the most vile creature's I have ever known.

I have practically nothing to do with my immediate neighbours, as I rarely see them, and then it is only a a “good morning” basis. No conversation as such. I have lived in this bungalow for over five years and have never seen the neighbours across the road or next door but one. They would not know if I was dead or alive. Days like today, I speak to no-one.
