Ha this will be such a PH post...
We do literally live in the largest house on the street, not by much but it does have a large plot so we are looked at "funny" as we are in our 30's and the rest are at least 50's and the plot is pretty nice.
The only neighbours we speak to are the guy opposite and he is a decent chap and we have had a drink here and there, is a big fan of old Jags and has come over a few times for a gander at the XJ-S so can't fault the guy!

Haven't spoke to any of my neighbours since I moved in 7 years ago. I intend to keep it that way.
I'm a private person and like to be left alone when at home. I don't even answer the door if I can help it.

Where I have just moved to, the house directly next door is a student house!! Im only a few years older, and we all get on, they love coming over for a beer when im working on the car on the drive, and we quite regulary head down the pub/bars for a few drinks, they have some very pleasant female company aswell which is wonderful.
Back home where the parents live is a very private cul-de-sac tucked away, 31 houses, but everyone knows everyone. If a BBQ is going somewhere in the street, people will tend to knock on the door and invite themselves in, bringing drink etc with them. I used to wash everyones car for £2 a go when I was a kid, and used to water gardens etc when people were on holiday. I think about 10 neighbours have a housekey to the parents house, its a beautiful neighbourhood, and I think thats the only reason my parents still rattle round in a 5 bedroom house, when us kids have all moved on!
Ive been blessed I think, very lucky, doesnt happen to everyone

Elderly chap next door, the odd chat over the fence and I did check on him a few times over the worst of the past 2 winters, other than that I don't bother with anyone else.

MR00PEA said: I thought my old neighbour was a bit weird border line reclusive.
Normally we would not hear him until he got in from work then he seemed to watch porn at ridiculous volumes nearly every day to the point where me and the OH could actually memorize the Cheesy dialect and the precise moment the actress wanted " That C**k in her tight little a**e " He would never answer to door if I went round.
Then one day after bringing our 3 day old son home from hospital we was trying to settle him around 10 o clock after his feed only to be disturbed by loud whooshing and breaking glass.
This time I went round and he did answer the door, In his underwear with a Darth Vader mask on Followed by a smaller man in a Darth maul mask also in his pants both clutching broken tube light bulbs. I did a swift 180 on my heel and headed back out the garden.
Needless to say we moved shortly after this incident.
Quoted the "interesting" bit......WTF ?

 sounds like the kind of anecdote that crops up as character evidence in a serial-killer's trial.

Don't speak to them. Frankly, I can't stand them. Being the anti-social b  h I am; I'm currently saving to buy somewhere in the middle of nowhere with some land and no neighbours in sight.

Just moved house, neighbours seem friendly enough. Did have a chat with a woman whose husband co-drives rally cars to a serious level whilst I was working on the Atom. Bloke across the road is in his 80s and seems very impressed with it.
