Do any of you have nicknames for friends and/or neighbours? Over the years, we've had:

The Lottery Queen (she once won a few thousand and bragged about it for years)
Internet King (used to sit on his PC in the window - with no shirt on)
Father Ted (got a mass of white hair)
Roman Helmet (hair in that shape which is plastered to her head)
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)

Window man - he's a window cleaner, with his tribe of sons.
Hippy Mum - lovely lady opposite
Bloody barking dog man - self explanatory two doors down.
Nursey next door - looks after everybody, God knows what the street will do when she finally stops.

We used to have fag and bike man next door, but he died a few years ago.

I'm sure DH is known as Mororbike Man, and I'm probably weeble lady ( no explanation needed)

We've got the neighbourhood watch on one side (always gawping out their window and when I see them in the back garden I always get all the gossip) sideshow Bob and the miserable twat on the other. Used to have the clampets on the other side of them but they did a midnight flit so now we have the cheeky twat with the German shepherd (caught him walking up our drive to put his dog shit in our bin once)

QueenB5 · 20/12/2021 20:59

Growing up we had,

Mrs Mangle (old bat from Neighbours for anyone too young)

Mrs Bucket

Mr and Mrs Shit - a dog had pooed in their garden and the husband must’ve blamed ours and flung the dog into our garden, so my mum named thus named them this.

The Waltons.

I’m convinced my mum had more, I just can’t remember the rest.

Shower Wankers. They're shower has a ridiculously loud pump and it's so noisy we can hear it all over our house. They seem to constantly be showering too so muttering shower wankers to each other makes it less painful

whatisthisinhere · 20/12/2021 21:00

BBQ party people, have bbqs in all weathers and invite friends over, playing v loud music.
Paparazzi, next door, always watching me and talking to each other at top volume about what I'm doing in my garden and every time I leave the house.
Young travellers, across the road, because they're young and always disappearing for weeks at a time with suitcases, the most interesting people on my street by far

toomanyplants · 20/12/2021 21:00

Nosy McNosy...... literally out rain or shine, nosing at everything.
I have no clue what his real name is.

Swirlywoo · 20/12/2021 21:02

Mad Cow retired farmers wife, never speaks

Fluffmonkey82 · 20/12/2021 21:04

I have Captain Caveman and his computer wife next door, we don't get on with them and fly tipper round the corner.

whatisthisinhere · 20/12/2021 21:04

I think I'm the mad dog lady! Apparently. Because I take in foster dogs and take peoples dogs for walks if they're self isolating.
Soon I'll have another puppy, which I'm not telling them about.

LittleGungHo · 20/12/2021 21:04

Dick and Boobra- Dick was his name but Boobra was Barbra she was large chested without a bra

Santahatesbraisedcabbage · 20/12/2021 21:05

Ime beware... My df's ndn was indeed a true Mr Clampet.. However I didn't realise he wasn't actually Mr Clampet.. And loudly announced he was at the door one day.

Pinkstars2501 · 20/12/2021 21:05

Ours are quite boring I suppose:

Mr Audi....drives an Audi.

Mr Nosey, bell end who comes out to be nosey whenever there's a delivery van or anything that's not another neighbours car.

The Bag Heads, our new neighbours who deal weed (and smoke it all the time with a little girl at home).

The Man From "Up", another neighbour who looks just like the man from the film.

BackBackBack · 20/12/2021 21:06

Yes but I've changed the NN we use for them as they would be very identifiable to people who know me IRL.

On one side we have the procrastinator. Nice lady but she's endlessly on about jobs she's going to get round to but never does.

On the other side we have Gertie Gossip, who is also very nice but literally never stops talking. Very useful font of knowledge about the street, everyone in it and the history of the area - including numerous wrong doings by various neighbours Grin

Across the way we have Ken the car dealer. He's not really a car dealer but has about eleventh billion vehicles and spends his life shuffling them round the very limited on street parking. Some of them are really old bangers so there is discreet grumbling about valuable parking being taken up by his rusting shitheaps, but mostly people put up with it.

Next to him is crazy dog lady. Very nice but utterly bonkers and walks her many small dogs throughout the day.

Next to her are the weed smoking teenagers. They live with their parents but hide up the side of the street to smoke weed. Nice lads after I terrified them by asking them loudly but firmly not to smoke next to my garden because the smell was bloody awful

I like all of my neighbours.

FOJN · 20/12/2021 21:06

I have "relentless DIY fuckers", just across the road, they have some sort of power tool going nearly everyday.

NDN use to be called Victor Meldrew or miserable bastard, again self explanatory. I didn't wish him ill but he was a bully, his wife seems so much happier since he died.

I know my other neighbours by name and they're all lovely.

choosername1234 · 20/12/2021 21:07

TheCreamCaker · 20/12/2021 21:07

Vinegar Tits Xmas Shock

Charmatt · 20/12/2021 21:08

Nosey old woman (always had her nose up against the window)
Old gay shagged (he kept bringing young men home)
Old Man Boy (he was 7 but stood with his hands on his hips asking us if we thought it would rain/had a good day at work/knew what bin was being emptied etc)
Spindly woman (very tall and thin)
No Knicks (always wore very tight trousers but clearly no knickers)
The Cat-scratch Snaggers (joined on to my neighbours house and had such noisy sex that my neighbours cat would start scratching at the walls)

Jingers5 · 20/12/2021 21:09

I have rear window, he sits out on his balcony at all hours of the day and night- listening to everyones business 🙄
