No nicknames as I know their names except for a reclusive newbie. I even know the name of the cunt in number 22 only I don't use it.

My df lived next door to 'The Clampets' ..
Except I didn't know that until I advised df Mr Clampet was at the door....
Df's face told me it wasn't his real name..

I did that aged about 6 with 'Mrs Nosy Parker'

Now I have DD I think my DPs must have been completely insane to even think that with DC in the house! 😂

We have 'next door' who aren't actually next door! And 'Mr car wash'

THOSE IDIOTS (must have accompanying eye roll)

We live next door to Silly Bollocks. I know it’s mean, but honestly, the absolute nonsense he comes out with beggars belief.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 29/05/2024 20:47

The cat house (they feed their cats on their drive, I've no idea why)
Alcoholic Joe.. he's not a neighbour he just stands outside the corner shop at the bottom of the street at lunchtimes and after work drinking cheap cans of lager with a rolling assortment of others.

Parker (looks like puppet from
Thunderbirds)

Putin - (looks like him and is a nasty git)

Chockall (big tubby useless male neighbour)

High class escort (young attractive woman, owns expensive large house where she lives alone- goes out at night with large hold-all looking very glamorous)

The poles (Polish couple , we don’t know their names only that they are Polish)

The druggies (obvious reasons )

We had a neighbour who me & one of the others on our road thought was running a brothel for a bit because she was young, single, glamorous and lived in the 3 bed semi alone with no obvious routine that suggested a job!

she was also visited by many different men on a regular basis , each staying an hour or two.

Turns out she was a professional singer who gave singing lessons and public speaking lessons and clearly it paid very well 😂

Actual real life neighbours of family members have included; Ms Snowball, Mrs Griffin and Mrs Swan.

When I was little I also knew Sweary Man and his tribe of dogs, and someone I thought of as the incredible shrinking lady (now I realise she must have had had a debilitating spinal issue). I was growing inch by inch and she was getting smaller every time mum stopped to talk to her up the street. I read a lot of Roald Dahl in those days and I genuinely thought she would get tinier and tinier and then disappear.

Mum used to do old people's hairdressing along a line of houses where the council housed the elderly. She cheerfully called it Death Row. Hopefully we never repeated that. We always got toffees when we went with her in the hols.

There was also Toby Jug Lady, she had a dresser full and I was fascinated by them.

Loafbeginsat60 · 29/05/2024 21:38

Happy and happy because the neighbour and his Mrs are very grumpy almost all the time. So we thought that by giving them happy names we will magically turn into happy people.
