To have nicknames for my neighbours and ask what yours are for yours?

[Cantheowneroftheredcorsapleasemovetheircar]

Apparently most people in the UK have nicknames for their neighbours that they use within their household.

Mine are -
Their names - J & M (next door)
Next door not J & M (I actually know their names but still call them this)
Barky dog people
Penguin people
Policeman's family
Old boy

What are yours, and perhaps more interestingly... what do you think your neighbours call you?

I call both my immediate neighbours by their names. Adult child will refer to other people in our vicinity by their dogs names, adult child walks our dog every day so sees many people in our vicinity.

My OH used to call the neighbours at the back Family Fat and the one to the right of us is Birdboy.

Where we lived previously we didn't know their names so we had Grandma Citroen as that was the car she drove and was clearly the Grandma. She often visited Father Golf's house, again Dad with a VW Golf. The people behind us on a different street so never saw them but hear them through the fence were called The Backyardigans (tv show about a shared back garden where the children played) and then another family were The Frontiers as they lived in front of us but again due to the angle of the houses we hardly saw them but they caused issues with parking, not with us, but other neighbours.

Now here I know the neighbour's names so we use their names. I much prefer nicknames though.

I just generally refer to them collectively as the noisy fuckers.
One next door neighbour loads up work van at 6.30 ( lots of loud scraping and banging noise), has loud conversation with partner, then lots of van door slamming then the van makes a loud beep beep beep reversing noise.
Other ndn has a car that sounds like a jet aircraft taking off and loud screechy brakes.
One across the road roars off on his motorbike loudly.
This is all before 7am.
Lady across the road is the roads nosey neighbour shouting across the road loudly to everyone.
I know I need to move !

I can offer you:
Mr and Mrs Kew (fab garden)
Conspiracy Mary
Mini Man

We just call them by their names except for one, and we just call him by the discount warehouse he owns - Mr cheap discount warehouse name.

I'm intrigued by penguin people. Do they have a funny walk?

Used to have Pompous Peter and his wife Sour Puss next door to us and then moved and had Big Gob Bal. Big Gob Bal was the worst, everything and I mean everything she did was loud. I thought she was being murdered one night but no it was her having sex, my teenagers heard it all and no doubt her young teens could hear her too.

Single Asian professional to one side, The Quirkiest to the other and Porky Man in the middle 😂

Want to know more about Conspiracy Mary!

Speedy
Popsocks
The Deezer
Bungalow John
Kookie Woman

We just use their names because we know their names. Maybe if we didn't know them we would use descriptions. The swingers (Pampass grass in the garden), the bald eagle, rat man, love birds, barkers.
They would probably call us the odd couple 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yes I love this

We had
PJM - pyjama mum as we never saw her dressed 😂
DJ Luck - he was a "DJ" and used to have 3 day benders playing his decks on drugs with his friends. It was fucking awful
We had the Gallagher's - they were like the family from Shameless

We now have a Rick - her name is Vivienne and it made me think of the young ones 😂

We have others but so far they are my favourites

In my old house I had:
Tiny head guy
The one that feeds the Foxes
Shiela

Shiela let me say "morning Sheila!" to her for a whole year before she finally told her name is Shirley.

Fire starters

Roof Guy
Blousy Floozy
Dave W (she looks like my friend Dave W)
New baby couple
Nice gay lads
Margaret
Edna Chutney
😂

Old John and Young John (different houses).

Young John is occasionally referred to as Shorts John because he ALWAYS wears shorts. If we spy him out the window wearing trousers we know it must be freezing outside (and then have to announce it to the rest of the house - "John's in trousers!").

We also have Eric's Mum & Dad. I have no idea what their names are but they both shout "ERIC!!!" a lot when their DS is playing outside...

The Boring People and Dirty Dez

I have 'inappropriate mother and son' opposite, shortened now to 'the inappropriates'.

Another neighbour got a new car and informed us the colour was Passion Red. We named it Percy's passion wagon, this is despite his name not being Percy but that is what he is now known as.

The POVs . Not because they are poor - pov for poverty (yes, I know, but it’s used round these parts as such) but it’s the beginning of their surname and both their cars have POV on the number plate. Very outing…🤣

We called our horrible neighbour Manpaps. Thankfully she has now moved away.

I had a neighbour who consistently called me Jane (not my name), in the end I accepted it and sent my Christmas card to him from Jane!

a few years ago a drunk driver hit a few cars on my road very late at night, and in the middle of all the drama I looked out the window to see my neighbour (who had been in bed when the incident happened) was out on the street offering out cans of cider to bystanders and then a little later with a glass of gin.

My partner and I jokingly started referring to him as gin and tonic after this and this has stuck so we now only ever refer to him as gin.
