The moan about your neighbours thread - Stool Bloke returns...

[<]:^D]

got a problem for sure, thats not normal. maybe the Costa guy is delivering drugs

[DarkRula]

Sounds like a dream, LightWanderer. Although, there are other housemates still, right?

No but there are neighbours. I like my privacy and this Lockdown is easier cause I'm more used to online video calling so not as lonely. October/November lockdown was rough but this lockdown is peaceful. Things always get better

Ah, that's great. House to yourself is always great. As ever, it always helps to keep positive.

People leave out free gooseberry fool all the time, especially recently. After a long walk on a nice day, spotted a few 3 metre lengths of timbre so grabbed one at a time and hauled it to my house, each one took about 5 minutes. Thought I could use the excercise and make some shelves.

Went back the third time wearing my work gloves and there was a tradie van, then a lorry to collect it... Bunch of guys standing around in gear. Just walked straight through them, and walked back another way.

So I accidentally stole someone else's wet, exterior wood. Oh well, pretty thick of them to just dump it there then rock up 15 minutes later with a van to load it up. Probably left over from a decking job or something. Maybe they aren't aware of people here regularly leaving items outside their house and fully expect them to go away, it's a great way of getting rid of things.

Similarly, we left out some cook books, plushies and stuff like a flip pan (for flipping omelettes, pancakes or something). Today walked past a neighbours house and they're displaying the books in their sash window, together with the flip pan, like an exhibition. What the strawberry float

....do they think someone has lost them so they've picked them up to keep them safe and put them in their window hoping the owner will spot them and collect?

[Green Gecko]

No, we labelled the box "free - help yourself". He's done it before. Before it's been a series of random records, other times the same image from the same newspaper or leaflet multiple times.

My partner's explained that, apparently this guy used to go to the butchers accross from me almost every day, he did too many drugs, and his brain is a bit cooked. It's just something he does.

This town is pretty weird.

Further down the high street (I'm at the top), someone put a bunch of disco lights and manakins dressed in 70s clothing and sunglasses in a window, and put dance lights on reflected off a disco ball every day so they beamed accross to the other side of the street at night. For no apparent reason.

An old shopfront turned residential near that, the kid that lives there has painted the hang sign "The Mary House', or something like that, and the doorframe / porch is painted in primary colours with things like stars, balloons, Suns and other happy things.

I think I've mentioned before the similarly ex-shop place where the windows are completely rotten and there's an array of rocks and ties, with added tongues and googly eyes, with signs printed out from MS Word titling them "tie snakes". Nothing has moved in that window in the 3 years we've lived here.

Do you live in Royston Vasey or something?

Across the road in gap between bin bint and leaf blower bloke's gardens, someone from the road behind appears to be trying to provide a place for space ships to land, as they have some sort of up firing garden light which lights half the sky up when it's on. It's a banana split for trying to star gaze in that direction if there's any moisture in the air as it just lights it up.

Don't know what the strawberry float my neighbours are listening to but it's so loud that it's literally shaking our mantelpiece. If this doesn't stop immediately I'm going to get Drummy round. Completely unacceptable, never happened before.

[That's not a growth]

Another day, another Costa delivery, but instead the Costa delivery guy knocked on my door today with 5 bags of Costa, I said to him it's not me it's the woman across the road.
She come running out her house, shouting she wants her coffee, I said to the guy that's her and shut the door.

The music stopped pretty quick so it might've been an accident. They do have visitors round now though and I'm considering whether to grass them up or not.

It's definitely serious when Paul Robinson gets involved.

My "good" neighbours are moving out . They're a lovely family whose front door is right opposite mine (literally three feet away) and they've been great; friendly and pretty quiet.

They're keeping the flat and renting it out . I'm a bit apprehensive about who might move in. After years of sh!t from the people who used to rent the flat downstairs, things have been pretty cool for the past eighteen or so months.

We’ve analysed Freedom of Information data across UK local authorities to find out the number of noise complaints in the last 12 months in each major city and London borough, and compared this to the number of households. London tops the list as the UKs noisiest city of all with 515 complaints per 10,000 households.

We’ve also conducted a survey to 2,000 Brits to find out what people think about their neighbours and what they are likely to complain about.

The UK’s noisiest cities

Unsurprisingly with its staggering population, and hustle and bustle, London ranks as the UK’s noisiest city. But which other cities outside of the capital hold the noisiest neighbours?



If you’re looking to move to a new area in the UK, taking a look at noise complaints might be the deciding factor, particularly where we are now spending a considerably larger amount of time in our homes. No cities in Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland featured in the top 10 noisiest neighbourhoods, however Swansea, and Belfast both have the highest complaints in their region at a total of 4,756 and 3,890 over the last 12 months.

Narrow street, is it?

What's Drummy going to do? Park in their space?
