In my head the option I ticked was ‘I know them to say hello to and that’s how I want it to stay’.

Got married just over two years ago and moved in with my wife to her house. It’s a very multicultural area where integration is not happening in the slightest, apart from my wife who was born abroad but since received Irish citizenship. The only contact I have with my neighbours is when I return the dirty nappies, clothes hangers and rubbish, which is regularly thrown over our wall, through their letterbox with a note asking for the parents to control their kids. Once when hit with flying rubbish, marched to their door for an apology and parents didn’t open door…8 year old kid with 5&2 year olds at home alone!!! Don’t like the neighbours, wish I was back in my Irish village where everyone is pleasant.

My neighbours down the street don’t seem to be able to grasp the concept that if you don’t cover your bins the wind will blow your rubbish all over the place. I have lived here for 4 years and at least once per week I have I clean rubbish of every kind from my front garden. The ignorance of these people is astonishing. Then then just go about their day and drive past my house free picking up their bin and ignore what then have left in my garden. Great people, really great people. Salt of the earth award for sure

I have some neighbours who don’t want to know me – so stuff ‘em, it’s their loss!

When we moved to a new house the neighbours where a generation older so naturally looked down on us, never said hello etc etc. I swore that if ever a neighbour moved that I would not treat them in the same way.nnA couple of years later new neighbours, we welcomed them really warmly and have since developed a strong friendship. I know for certain I can call on them day or night if ever I need to and likewise. Not just tea, sugar,a lend of a drill, hose etc. But the helping hand, sympathetic ear and the laughs you share.nnWe have a common goal to live in a nice tidy, happy estate where everyone feels involved (having children helps a lot)nnFor those who don’t extend a welcome shame on you, for those that do reap the benifits and it’s well worth it.nnNeighbours are there for life not just for Christmas cards!!

i was born in the house i am living in and the people next door have lived there since then too. Our whole road know each other for a long time

The old saying goes “Strong fences make good neighbours”

Get too friendly and a dust up is a matter of time,

I have no time for my neighbours. They are all on the dole or the sick and i have to work hard to pay my taxes so them lazy sods can drink like lords.

My old Nokia charger doesn’t work either!

I live in rural Ireland where everyone in the village knows everybody….and news spreads fast!

By the way, what nationality is a Nokia charger? Finnish’ Chinese?

Live an area with a high rental turn around so I don’t see a point in trying to get to neighbours too well, I’ll say a friendly hello if I see them but that’s about it. If I lived in a more settled area then I’d probable make more effort to get to know the neighbours. That said ideally I’d prefer my neighbours to be green fields and trees.

Crap I thought it said Not All, not Not At All. Whoops.

well i live in a beatiful area in the country (Kerry) and I have never ever met so dis-interested neighbours in my life!!! Not wanting to help, rejecting support, I only live there as I love the country. I dont know if its my area or my town i heard its DEFO my town lol but… its nice and very good to have good neighbours in my belief!!!

Well, this was an eye opener.I live in a multi cultural neighbourhood, and I love it. Some people like “Old nokia Charger” need to cop on and stop asking where everyone is from. Get over your preconceptions. It’s the 21st century. Cop on mate
