A new family, Asian (but that's by the by), have moved in next door. I don't see the man or woman going out to work at all. We live in an area that's up and coming with young, aspirant, professional families. AIBU to think they might be lowering the tone?

PS I like curry.
PPS Isn't it great about the Daily Mail tie in?

are you sure she isn't a teenage single mother?

Deeeja · 19/08/2009 23:04

Is it me?
I have moved not long ago,don't work, my kids are always covered n chalk and melting ice-lollies, and they are very noisy.
I am Asian.
I love a good curry.

SparklyGothKat · 19/08/2009 23:11

oh report them they are defo bringing down the area... do they put their rubbish out before bin day too??

Deeeja · 19/08/2009 23:14

OOOh, I definately put my rubbish out before bin day, and I haven't washed the car all week.

KeepPassingTheOpenWindows · 19/08/2009 23:18

Deeja, love the thought of being covered in chalk and ice lollies - that has taken me right back to 1976!

To the OP - why do you think this is ANY of your business?

KeepPassingTheOpenWindows · 19/08/2009 23:22

Our neighbours laugh at DH for cleaning the car every Sunday. They think it a very "English" thing to do. Our neighbours are French/Dutch/Armenian/German/American. They are all a bloody good laugh at a BBQ.

bruces · 20/08/2009 00:09

This has most definitely got to be a wind up or the OP is VERY VERY bored all day..........oh to have so much time on my hands

kittymax · 20/08/2009 01:03

Now all you need is a couple of lezzas to move in across the road!

(I am the lezza 'cross the road)

LOL at pampas grass. When I was little we had pampas grass!

screamingabdab · 20/08/2009 08:22

Deeja : since you are living the 70s dream - chalk and ice lollies - do you have pampas grass too ?

AmazingBouncingFerret · 20/08/2009 08:27

My parents had pampas grass in the back garden... Does that mean they were bumsex only swingers?

StealthBearWipesBumOnDailyMail · 20/08/2009 08:32

I would put a note through their door suggesting they may be lowering the tone and asking what they plan to do about it.
After all, I bet some of your best friends are asians but that doesn't mean you need to live next door to them, does it?

(keep up the good work btw)

BouncingTurtle · 20/08/2009 08:40

DO they have beards? If they are probably running a terrorist training camp. Especially if the wife has a beard, that's a dead give away.

I would take to carrying the Qur'an with you when you see them, in case they stick a bomb under your car for practice.

gagamama · 20/08/2009 09:27

Well what do you expect under this government? This is Broken Britain. We're all going to hell in a handcart!

They're probably sitting in there being extremely Asian. You don't want Asian Extremists living next door. I think they're bringing out a vaccination to protect the Taxpayer from people like these, but it won't be available on the NHS because the government are too busy giving money to transgendered Muslims. And if it is then DON'T TAKE IT because the side-effects will be certain death. Or cancer.

screamingabdab · 20/08/2009 09:50

lol

SwedesandTurnips · 20/08/2009 10:10

I just happened to be looking at their upstairs window with my binoculars this morning and I noticed the man getting dressed. And before I knew it he was out of the door wearing a rucksack.

I'm not sure whether or not to call the police?

pofacedandproud · 20/08/2009 10:20

To the OP, are you sure they are not digging a new channel tunnel for all those nasty illegal immigrants from their own back garden? Check for spades and signs of disturbed earth immediately. And if you find a spade CALL THE POLICE!

itsmeolord · 20/08/2009 10:24

Swedes? Are you the op??

SwedesandTurnips · 20/08/2009 10:28

Ah yes. Sorry for confusion.

pofacedandproud · 20/08/2009 10:30

SwedesandTurnips · 20/08/2009 10:33

Pofaced - Good idea about the tunnel. I should go round there but what would I say? I normally miss their house out when I'm doing my Neighbourhood Watch leafleting.

pofacedandproud · 20/08/2009 10:42

I suggest drilling small holes in your garden fence to maintain surveillance. I would lend you my security camera but I am in the process of catching my Chinese neighbours smuggle goldfish illegally out of the country in their underwear.
