Mr Muscle (very petite and short man)
Honey Monster (huge woman with a moustache)
Big 'tache Slipper Man (no description needed)
The Mole (neighbourhood watch lady)
Barry the Bag (always shopping)

My parents loved to name their neighbours- a couple that were awarded £157k for the wife's back injury were known as the 157s, their other neighbours were oz & screech. We also had Mr Softy who was a pop salesman! We call our neighbour DiY derek after topsy & Tim as the knob is always out doing diy shit at stupid hours!!!

itchypoopark · 26/12/2021 12:29

We don't have names, we just have numbers. I think Number 62 and Number 70 are having an affair, and I am sure Number 60 is a drug dealer (low level or he wouldn't live here).

@ThePlumVan

She owns a hot tub, which is a perfectly valid choice, and I'm a terrible person.

chelle0 · 26/12/2021 13:44

Happy and dead. She never smiles and we didn't see him for so long we thought he'd died.

The smokers. Always having a smoke out the window at 10am on the dot without fail.

David 2.0. Has 4/5 broken cars on his drive and works on them at 3am.

How is she still living? She's about 1000, ambulance attended 5 times a week.

Angrymum22 · 26/12/2021 13:48

Cougar- she used to have a sporty cabriolet car and dries her extensive animal print thong collection outside on a washing line. She is mid sixties and lifters divorced. Well known in the village for sleeping with other peoples husbands, apart from mine who hates her with a vengeance after she refused to pay for repairs to our car when a roof slate came off her roof and landed in the middle of the bonnet. He holds a grudge!
Other side lives the hermit, you can tell what day it is by his activities. And even though he’s been retired for years still comes out at 6.30 every morning to de ice his car, excruciatingly by hand with a small scraper. We renamed him “Mr Picky”. He had block paving drive laid last summer and because of the slope on the drive he had the builders back 3x to sort out the lip between the pavement and drive as it was catching on his exhaust. Then called out the car dealership to test it with one of their demonstrator cars to fully check if builders had sorted it before taking his own car back over it. He’s always having work done on the house, we regularly have bets on how many times he gets tradesmen back to sort out preserved problems.

BigYellowHat · 26/12/2021 17:59

Years ago, our neighbour was known as ‘Cone Lady’. This was because she used to reserve an extra parking space outside our flats with a cone and would get miffed when we moved it to park our car (there were 3 spaces for 5 flats and she wanted to used 2 of them BTW!!)

KloppsTeeth · 29/12/2021 02:14

We have new neighbours in the street. We have seen then a few times but they finally moved in today. So far he has been named Wide Boy, because he looks like someone you see getting hauled out of a car on Police Interceptors. Grin looking forward to settling on a name for him over the coming weeks.
He has moved next door to Bernard Manning (the one who complains about his mother in law all the time).

PennineWayinSlingbacks · 29/12/2021 02:29

We live half a mile from anyone else - love it! Our neighbours from our old house were called Chip and Pin - only because their names rhymed.
