We have Cow Bag (although she moved years ago but we still say Cow Bag’s house!), Mr Bodge It, Know It All 😆

Oh and the Wart House (it has ugly cladding on it!)

I'm a little concerned you live in my street. My husband is a parking Ninja, I've struggle to parallel park on a slope so he's forever nipping out to sort my parking out.

Haha, I think you're safe, we're not on a slope 😂

None very nice. All christened by my OH. I'm sure they all call him worse 😊

Almost everyone is lovely and we call them by their names except for the landlord of the house opposite - we call him Mr Sniffy and some of my neighbours call him The Serial Killer.

Our new NDN is often referred to as Fwit, Dhead or the children call him him "Saddo Sam with his back to front cap" (to the tune of Postman Pat) as the idea of a 40 something accountant trying to look cool in a back to front baseball cap is something they just don't get.

Yes, for all of them! My favourite is Mr Motivator for a cocky woman who claims she’s mad into fitness but is quite tubby and wears a bumbag that she constantly makes sure is dead centre on her waist!

We have The Bin Ninja who leaps into action to put back everyone’s bins as soon as the bin lorry has been. It appears to be the highlight of their week.
We also have Rod the Rocker who is not called Rod but looks a bit like Rod Stewart & plays in a wedding covers band.
And finally there are The Vroomers who live 2 doors up and have ridiculously high powered cars that they rev the engines of at all times of the day and night.

A friend at work had Lizard Lady - she'd been on a lot of sun holidays to Spain but her skin had suffered over the years I fear. She used to lay out on a sun lounger in back garden whenever it was a hot day, smoking lots of fags.
