Maybe...I guess I'm just reminded of the days at school when people had "nicknames" called out to their face, like fatty/fatso/four eyes/retard etc.

Fair enough and under that context I can see where your coming from, hopefully you can now understand where I'm and others are coming from and that the two points are worlds aparts

Re: What do you call your neighbours?

By their names, with the exception of the ones a few doors down who have never introduced themselves in the 2 years they've been here (which is some feat in a small, remote, rural community). So we call them 'witness protection'.

They're more than likely 'social services'

Re: What do you call your neighbours?

i always knew this thread would end up with one or two 'holier than thou's gatecrashing. nothing to add to the thread, but they'll come and wave their pointed fingers about anyway! lol.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?

Not sure what my next door neighbours are called, they use lot's of different names, they have even been known to adopt my address at times. Ex Army and bent as a nine bob note, I just refer to them as **** Heads.

Re: What do you call your neighbours?

My neighbours are a very nice couple, even make me cake. Oh and I call then by name.

But the ones upstairs did cause us grief.
