Why not ask your "Friend"I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.0

how would we know unless we were at that neighbourhood watch meeting? It could mean one of your teenagers is breaking into other peoples houses and killing their goldfish for all we know.
Use your noggin and ask someone that might actually have been there (IE your friend!)MFW - <£90kAll other debts cleared thanks to the knowledge gained from this wonderful website and its users!0 -
I asked what the been watched was all about as in are they hid in bushes and stuff not what i had done wrong.0

They can't sit there and say nothing at these sort of meetings (which take place on a regular basis), and they end of complaining about the most trivial things.
I do this but for business premises, and there is always someone whining about something trivial - much to the point that these meetings are pointless; although it is the place to officially bring things up.
I'd go ask your friend.0 -
Ignore them they are toothless busy bodies with nothing else to do.
I used to live in an avid Neighbourhood watch area, ran by an ex stasi agent, who on seeing my friend wandering up and down the street looking for my house, immediately called the police and informed them that there was a "dangerous and suspicious looking" black man in the village.
The police knocked at my door, and the NW guy was stood about 10 yards back sneering with glee, The copper asked to see my friend, I said no problem, and introduced them to a eminent Oxford educated, Professor in Medical Physics who also happened to be a rasta.
The copper told the NW guy off for wasting his time. :T0 -

Thank You.0
