One side is a family where both parents are great examples of why the NHS is costly and in-effective, they live at the gym and have created a rain forest in the front garden and I get dirty looks when I 'trim' it with a petrol hedge trimmer!.
The other side is a Caribbean lady of about 60 who has 9 kids (all left home), she is brilliant, help her out with a few DIY jobs. She bakes us real Jamaican ginger cakes which are about 90% proof!
Directly across the road is Mr Ignorant, he does not speak to anybody so I feel it is my duty to say hello to him very loudly every time I see him!
The other few neighbours are brilliant, very friendly and we all help each other out.
The one common thing though is the fact that you have a Close full of salesmen, NHS managers and accountants.....and they are all rather useless at DIY
