I’m stuck in an ever escalating cycle of British politeness

Two weeks ago I took a parcel in for a neighbour

Two days later he came round with some homemade wine to say thanks

I then returned the favour with blackberry jam

I came home yesterday and he had cut all my logs up for me and put them in the woodshed and left a note saying thanks for the jam

Today I took all his washing in because it was chucking it down and he’d gone out

I’m genuinely afraid I’m now stuck in a cycle of ever increasing British politeness that won’t end until one of us dies or queue jumps in front of the other

Or just park slightly too close to his house. We all know that’s the end of days

You now need to buy him new dentures op.

I bet by the end of the month one one of you chisels out an ice sculpture for the other.

Or you could make a game of trying to put thank him to the point where one of you literally takes a bullet for the other

This made me laugh so much Grin

This is cute! I'd keep him. My neighbour has a big barky dog and an overflowing bin. 😂
