Though you live closely to each other, it’s possible that you know very little about your neighbours other than how terrible their parking is. But, that doesn’t stop you imagining what might be going on inside their walls. Inspired by their premiering of Keeping Up With the Joneses, starring Isla Fisher, John Hamm and Gal Gadot Sky Cinema would like to hear about the funny rumours you’ve heard about or the secret lives you’ve imagined for your neighbours (past or present).

Here’s what Sky Cinema has to say: “Sky Cinema makes it easy to find something you want to watch by showing a New movie Premiere every single day of the year. This summer there is a fantastic range of movies perfect for movie date night in from Keeping Up with the Joneses, to Allied to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find them.

So, whether you’re convinced that the woman at the end of the road is MI5, you have some inventive theories about why the neighbours leave the house so early on a Sunday, or you’re a curtain twitcher who treats the neighbour’s lives like entertainment, share your stories below to be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 John Lewis voucher.

Thanks and good luck!

International spies!

We call our estate wisteria lane because I think all of our neighbours have a secret competition over who can have the most perfect grass and perfectly washed car!

We also have a theory that our street won the postcode lottery and didn't tell us. In the last few months around 10 houses have had extensions, new windows, solar panels or new bathroom or kitchens. It started as a joke but now I think it could have happened. Xx

Our neighbour always brings us vegetables and to other neighbours too so I always imagine he has massive greenhouse at the back of their garden , like a really amazing one and spends all the time there! :O

Undercover spies master minding a plan to turn everyone into their servants!

My neighbours are an odd case, he seems to work days and she seems to work nights. I think she works at the hospital, the whole family are petrified of her, I have overheard them talking in the garden, checking things off a checklist before "mum comes home and loses it again". Its either deadly quiet or all hells broken lose, there is no middle ground. Dad(who obviously doesn't seem to wear the trousers) is always out walking the dogs or coming home with McDonalds.

I imagined some sinister next door - the lady used to make phone calls in the middle of the night. Suddenly at 2am there would be loud talking and hysterical laughter on the phone. She was over 60 - but did wonder if she having "special," paid conversations with people.... lol. She was probably just talking to someone oversees. However, she also looked very scary. She used to wear pale face make up and bright red lipstick, she looked rather like a witch to me and I wondered if she was part of a cult or something.

I think my neighbours are aliens from space... they are too nice & their dog never barks.

KittyKat88 · 13/09/2017 23:49

I generally have lovely neighbours, but there is one couple who never make eye-contact or want to stop and chat - I'm guessing secret agents....or lizard aliens disguised as humans!

Neighbours across the way, I have heard tell, have a computer suite for their son. I imagine he is hacking into NASA of an evening, and will likely be the next Bill Gates or something.
