I've gotta be honest mine are fine. The ones on the left who we aint joined to are ok, he's a washing machine repair man and as friendly as you like, shes a deputy head mistress and a frosty cunt, she never speaks, but thats fine with me. The ones on our right who were joined to (semi detached) are similar ages to us, they have 2 kids the same ages as ours, are bang on. Me and him go for a beer a couple of times a month and the women socialise together (tbh, i'd kick her back doors in but thats a bit too close to home!)

They never complain about the cars either, in fact a mate of mine services their cars on my drive from time to time, so all is good!

Only downside, cos the lawns are joined at the front, in the summer the kids play on it so much , it goes bald, but thats cool by me! lol

Judging by some of your posts, we're more than lucky!
