    There are 3 or 4 neighbours who are lovely. Don't really know them beyond saying hello or maybe the odd conversation a couple of times a year. Then there are others who refuse to even acknowledge a small nod or wave as you pass them. These just put their heads down and look the other way if you nod. It's bizarre! I don't want a friendship with any of them but I can't see why they have such a problem.

    We did a big renovation when we moved in so we think they might still be bitter over being disturbed but the ones friendliest are the ones who would have been affected.

    I live in a Graveyard (really) and there's about 400 'neighbours.'
    Not a peep out of any of them.

    Methinks Graces7 thought the quoted post referred to her. But no.

    No.... the poster said they were surprised the man did not hear the father putting the cucumber in the letterbox so I was merely explianing that it is not as suprising as they seemed to think That when you get something that size stuck ther eis no noise

    My farmer neighbour has left his 4 by 4 running on at the doorr here for 20 mins so farr.. THAT is a noise and a half..
    scuse typose..

    What's that got to do with the post that she quoted?

    I'm very confused.

    Cucumber gate :D

    What puzzled me about the original post with the cucumber was when the poster said - her father picked it up in his dinner- how many whole cucumbers were on his plate in the first place :confused::D

    Is Heartbeat being re-run or is there a new one?

    Cucumber cake, I think. It's meant to be nice! Or else it's courgette cake I'm thinking of.

    Live in an apartment block. Don't know any of them beyond maybe a hello on the rare occasions we pass in the hallway.

    Don't know anyone locally either. I'm one of those people who spends 2 hours each day commuting to work.

    Jeez, you're not alone!
    1. Anyways...did someone eventually take the cucumber out of the door, or is it still there, quivering in the wind?
    2. If so, was it eventually eaten?

    3. Exactly how many cucumbers did Daddy have?

    :P

    Our neighbours are fine, nice couple to the left and another couple to the right and a few across the road wave a hello as we come and go. Direct neighbours have dropped in with Christmas gifts etc and we have returned the favour which is nice but they're not pushy 'let's be best pals' type which is good. I couldn't handle overbearing neighbours!

    One lady across the road called in to introduce herself a day after I brought my baby home. I had just sat down to eat dinner (my only meal that day) my husband holding the baby so I could eat opened the door. He explained I was just sitting down to dinner and she insisted he went and got me. Conversation was going ok considering she interrupted my meal until she asked who my consultant was for the birth... why is that a conversational topic for some women?? Is it a badge of honour or something?? Anyway she did me a favour with that question, I won't be calling over to hers for tea. It just screamed of snobbery to me,

    I live in a genuinely working class area of Dublin and my neighbours are fecking great! Look after the moggy, keep an eye on the place when we're away, come over for a BBQ in the summer and have a few cans. If the kids ever give any trouble, which they never do, they're dealt with by their parents.

    My apartment has thin walls and loud neighbours with little consideration (at all hours) for slamming doors, noisy conversations, dogs barking and blaring Tvs.

    I understand the OP's frustration about being made late - I have a neighbour who, when she see's you coming, will block your exit with her (sizeable) zimmer frame to rope you into a never ending conversation. Being mannerly only encourages your captivity (and makes you later for appointments). Now I figure, she knows exactly what she is doing... and it's just plain rude.

    Another neighbour thinks I am her personal valet, and I am "blessed for it" she insists... :rolleyes:

    :( Running away sounds nice.

    Poor old girl is lonely is all. Thought zimmers only came in one size ;) Care re assigning malignant motives though.

    By all means come here for a day! No neighbours as such except the sheep and the cattle and the occasional farmer tending them....

    If so, the poor old girl gets "lonelier" the more attention people give her (and she demands plenty of that). She has a big wheeled one, with baskets and doo-dads attached. I am not assigning any motives she hasn't displayed... repeatedly.

    Sounds like heaven Miss Grace, never been much for the city life.

    I don't really know any of them and I've lived at the same address for 13 years. Next door are friendly enough, two doors down are knobs, across the road are oddballs. I'm busy and usually out and never bothered making an effort.

    I don't know much about my neighbours and I like it that way - I don't really like people very much! OK that's not true, some people I like, but in my own time and on my own terms. If I'm heading out somewhere, I'm not going to stop and chat to some stranger just because it happens that they live in the house next to the one I currently live in.
