Thirded, my immediate neighbour is stumping up for a new fence, as a post has rotted, and the fence has been leaning in toward our garden, which is not a heart breaker for us.
As he loves a BBQ, and has a few in the summertime, he has asked if we’re okay with him putting a gate in the new fence, so we can walk through with a couple of bottles of Viognier whenever he fires up the barbie.
It’s only polite to agree, don’t you think?

Frank, for someone who is full of such pretentious bks, Viogner, really? You could have done so much better.

You’ll have to take that up with Ray and Lorraine next door, they drink Pinot Grigio and/or Viognier, I drink vodka, but don’t stop sniping, it keeps me amused.

Frank Burns used to say "It makes me no nevermind" a lot. I think he meant "I don't care".

I'm lost. Who are Bill, Bob, Ray and Lorraine?

[randomeddy]

They leave their two kids in on their own when she drives him to work picks him up etc. Kids are about 6 and 11.

Bill and Bob were examples, plucked out of the air by the site which explained the meaning of
"makes no never mind", and Ray and Lorraine Acton are my Viognier drinking neighbours.
Try to keep up John, you're normally much quicker than that.

I can confirm that I've not built a portal for Frank in my fence or invited him to bbqs. Calling custard.

March last year we bought a plot of land that was the side garden of a house with around 4 acres. They design their dream house that they were going to build, but decided not and sold 1/3 an acre with planning to me. For £350k

During the land purchase they were a nightmare. The build has been fine thus far and they’ve been friendly, polite and even helpful to the builders and us with parking etc. They ended up employing the builder to do their driveway and front entrance.

Two weeks ago I pulled up to site to check on progress. Change to my boots and head inside. I find my two neighbours standing in my kitchen, when I questioned them they were just looking for Ben the site manager. He came back (he was in his van having lunch!), chatted and left.

I have a time lapse camera setup to capture the build. When I pulled the footage they had been everywhere. Checking out all the bedrooms, presumably done a tour downstairs as well. Been in the house for over 40 minutes!

Strange folk and it’s kind of creeping me out thinking we are going to live next door to someone who thinks it’s ok to wander around your house uninvited!

We had a new house a few years ago. We had been in for about 3 weeks when a middle aged couple wandered down the drive and did the hand on forehead thing to peer through our lounge window.

They seemed quite shocked to see us on the sofa watching telly, lol.

They eat their evening meal in different rooms. She sits in the dining room with the lights on and curtains open and he eats in the lounge..

Maybe one of them is a noisy eater/eats with mouth open, and this is a strategy to avoid murder being committed ?

I believe that I can confirm that Positronic Ray is telling the truth, to my knowledge, my neighbour Ray Acton, he of the BBQs, doesn’t have a nickname that I’m aware of.

When walking around my neighborhood, you get the 'odd neighbors' who don't have nets/don't close blinds or don't close curtains whilst lights on in evening.

You see these people you know, sat on their sofas watching the telly.

Very weird, why do they want to be seen.

I can't say I've ever closed the blinds in my living room, granted I've more or less never lived anywhere that people can see into my living room from the street, but I really can't imagine sitting in a place with all the blinds shut, it would feel claustrophobic.

But then you probably don't imagine neighbours wandering the streets staring at you.

I mean London street facing house with either small or no driveways in centre of town, as opposed to quiet locations or a huge long drive, or quiet cul-de-sac.

They're welcome to if they want. They won't see anything remotely interesting.
