Hi all.
Hopping on this thread
Haven't necessarily got 'bad neighbours'. We live in a semi detached and the house next to us (not joined on though) is currently empty as the man has gone into a carehome. Children can't sell it yet, so it's literally just empty.
Neighbours joined on are OK - older retired couple, little bit nosey but not overbearing. The only thing I find weird is the fact that the husband (who is around 65?) is constantly in his garage. I mean, from 9am-3am! Even on Christmas day, he spent most of the time in there after their children and grandchildren went home. They went on holiday a few months back, and we didn't even know they had returned until we heard him going out to the garage. His wife popped round one day to bring a parcel for us, and we had a chatter (as you do!) and she mentioned he has a computer in there as he's into gaming. I just casually asked what sort of gaming and she said she had no idea what he does. Now... I understand the whole thing of 'man sheds' but it's literally a old garage, like they've made no effort to do it up. Plus, the houses we're in are an older build and are actually quite big compared to others in the area. It's just them in a 3 bedroomed house... Why isn't his computer indoors?
It's so irritating when you hear him banging about locking the doors in the garage at 3am!
