to think there is somethign seriously weird about where I have just moved.

[Dimtan]

It's this village on the coast in the middle of nowhere, seems like it should be really busy, there is a shop and a cafe/chippy but there are hardly any people here, it's really bizarre.
I have seen some children running about but never any teenagers or babies. I've onyl ever seen under a dozen grownups in the week I've lived here.
Oh, and no-one has a car ether, even though there is a bus which I have never seen anyone on, and a train track but I've not heard a train either.
None of the adults talk to me, they just look through me as if I am invisible.

I just feel really creeped out. AIBU to get out of my contract and move somewhere else

Have you tried to start any conversations, with the people you see around, but who haven't spoken to you yet? Or how about asking the shopkeeper or chip shop owner about the area?

No, not one person Grace. I haven't had any post, there doesn't appear to be a postman although there is an ambulance parked in front of one of the houses.
There is no post office, no cash point, no newsagents either.
There is a rather dishy fireman though.

is it a steiner community

Couldn't be AK, there would be an abundance of cheesecloth and grinning imbiciles talking at her in sing-song voices.

it is owned exclusively, or almost exclusively by city folk, Londoners and the rest of those daaaan saaaaaf who have bought up the beautiful areas, as grace said. They are all on holiday in foreign warm countries while the locals all live elsewhere as there is no work/houses or prospects for them.

Can you see any tumbleweed?

Heh, glad you found something to cheer you up

As LL says, it is up to you to make the first move ... a few words with - umm, the cafe owner and the firmen might be a start.
Mind you, where I live now, it was FIVE MONTHS before one of my neighbours said hello first!

usualsuspect - lol! That film was fun!

I haven't seen anyone around. I tried to talk to the shop owner but she was too busy yelling at her son to talk to me and just ignored me.
I haven't seen the chippy open yet, it looks all set up to serve fodd but there doesn't appear to be any, or any customers.
I have seen a fisherman go wandering in and out of the chippy but that's it.

firmen? Sounds like you might find a Wicker Man though!

i bet its a military base, or close to one?

Jesus usualsuspect, that film gives me the creeps at the best of times! Kirstie Alley was great in it anyway...especially her last scene

I haven't managed to speak to the fireman, he is always in the engine with the sirens going. God oly knows where he is going, there can't be that many fires, there isn't anyone here to set them!

Do you reckon its some initiation process, they have all hidden to freak you out, see if you are fit to stay with the Local People? I bet they are rolling on the floor laughung underneath their window sills as you walk by bemused!

itsgrace, i wasn't going to comment on that, my spelling is hardly perfect

Do you live in pontypandy?

is this the fireman?

I honestly wasn't being rude about Wales, Mil is very Welsh and we are always very about things she says about home. It was an "in" joke directed at the wrong people.

Ohhh, I'm so slow on the uptake

I want you to carry on though, Dimtan!
Can you get sick & see if a Caribbean nurse turns up? Please??

I understand Elvis has been spotted in the area.

OMG how did you knwo?!
He is cute though, isn't he? or is it the lack of other men that is confusing me?
I wonder if he has a brother...

That's ok Alouiseg, there is a big welsh contingent on MN though...not me, I;m enlgish, but still

Dim Tan means no fire in Welsh

FFS, that bloody fire engine has just gone screaming past again along with a tender as well, and the helicopter is out as well.
Did I say it was quiet here?

It's probably the only fire engine in the whole of wales and therefore finds itself quite busy.

There won't be a fire here, not if the amount of firemen per head of population is anything to go by...

I might go and follow the engines to see what is happening. There is no television here, no ariel or dishes, so not much to do at night. Shoudl I go for a rubberneck?

Why not?

Maybe that group of teenagers you saw are a bit handy with a cheap lighter?
