I had some misgivings when we moved three years ago. We moved from inner city Liverpool to the burbs. We’re a corner house, so we only really have one next-door neighbour. They’re a bit weird. During my time there, they have:-
Crashed their car into their own house, almost killing one of them.
The old fella has also loitered in my garden, looking to climb my fence so he could get in. Didn’t bother informing me, like.
He also pops his head over the wall whenever we have a barbecue and moans about the smoke.
They asked us to chop one of our trees down, and when we refused, they went above our heads and asked the landlord for permission. He told them to do one, and said he’d only allow the trimming of the tree to wall height.

Lol.

Is that a euphemism?

Also, calling someone else a bit weird - do you live in a greenhouse, papster?
It surprized me with its viciousness - and done without any hint of irony. Maybe more surprizing was that they found black actors willing to do it… then agin I guess opportunities were much more limited for balck actors at that time on mainstream TV… but shocking production.
Currently the 3 girls who live next door have obviously been having a few vinos with some mates and playing some sort of dance music (not sure what as not down with the kids etc). I should have popped around first day and mentioned how noise goes around the flats awfully (it doesn’t). At what time can you shout at them over the balcony?
ITV were trying to replicate “Til Death do us part”, which featured a racist Alf Garnett character. The figure was supposed to be ridiculed much like Al Murray (The pub landlord does now) or Nigel Farage.
The Alf Garnett problem was too many people thought he was a top bloke - ITV seemed to go full racist on Abuse Thy Neighour and created something that didn’t even look like it was pretending.
It was indeed accepted then - but why, I do not know.

thanks baz. We sold in April and moved out at the end of August. Was meant to move in Sept, then Dec then Jan and now not at all. Went to see a house on Saturday. Waited for the estate agent, no one showed, rang them and turns out the house is sold and they just didn’t tell us. Bunch of arses.
