Someone in our town committed suicide - he had a family and his name and photo were in the local paper..........
It wasn't till months later I realised he lived 2 doors away - sad really..:o
I do speak to lots of my neighbours though - next door are now our best friends:D0 -
Interesting thread!
I used to live in an area that had a lot of rental houses.
I've experienced friendly, offhand and downright rude neighbours in my street during that time
I moved house a year ago today to a quiet culdesac
None of my neighbours made the effort to introduce themselves, but my immediate ones are always friendly if we are outside at the same time.
I introduced myself to them when I met them first time, but rightly/wrongly felt it was for them to say 'welcome' rather than me say 'hi, I've arroved'.
I was disappointed that none of them did.0 -
I have lived in my house for 15 years and have seen a few neighbours come and go.
I have spoken/got on well with all but 1 so far. The couple next door moved to Eire and I still phone/email them.
The new people next door I "did" speak to up until last week. Ever since moving in they have argued most weeks. It wasn't a problem at first, but I had to call the police before christmas as one argument went to far.
It quietened down some what but the rows started up again. I put up with it but had to write a note last week, pointing out I could hear every word and I wasn't prepared to listen the the constant swearing any longer.
Weather they will speak again who knows? The couple who moved in the other side don't really speak, but are quiet enough.
At one time I used to speak to quite a few people in the road, but they all moved away or died.Know the difference between what you WANT and what you NEED. :T0
