What do you Call your Neighbours?

When you don't know your neighbors names - it's far more exciting to invent new ones for them!

(Mainly based on their appearance or delightful habits)

So what do you call your neighbors?

In our street we have:

The Nosy Parkers, Ernie, Mr Measure Measure (he measured his doormat everyday for 2 months)
Mr and Mrs Next Door, Joe (well he looks like a Joe!) and lastly Spotty Youth, (there are others but they aren't family forum friendly)

In Peel Terrace we had the delightful Mr Chavtastic - I liked him!

One of our neighbours have blue shutters on their house so we call them Mr & Mrs Shutters.

Hahaaaaa! I can't tell you what I call my neighbours because @perry081064 lives opposite to me & he may tell them all!


The people who used to live in @perry081064 s house were known as 'The Goggle-eyes'!

No worries I won't tell... If its any consolation I call them dealer 1 ,2,3 etc lol.
.... You gotta tell me why you called the previous people "goggle eyes" though :shifty:

The lovely charming sober and clean man to my right as you look out my front door is - arseholeshitfacewankstainkdruggynobhead. Next door to him is Mr Howyoudoin, cos he always talks to me with a big smile on his face and teeth clenched together.
Lady to the left is 'her next door' mainly because I never remember her name. The couple that used to live there were called, The banshee and Lurch. The couple next to her are known by their first names, can't say them cos he is a Forum member. I really would love to know what they all call me!

What a strange day! I have 'lost' several things. One of those things was half a block of cheese which I distinctly remembered putting into it's packet. Imagine my confusion when I found the empty cheese packet and couldn't find the cheese. After some minutes of searching I found a strangely placed dishwasher tablet packet. I'd only gone and put the cheese into that and sealed it up. Luckily hadn't been tainted lol. I blame my age.:teef:

Lol, they were both called 'The Goggle-eyes' as they were forever staring into our house!

I actually seem to know quite a few neighbours by name even though they have changed frequently in the last few years, but some still have their nicknames -

Punto woman
Corsa bloke
The-woman-that-works-at-the-other-school (corsa blokes Mrs)
The-woman-with-the-little-girl
The-Polish-couple
The-woman-that-knows-me (I truly don't know her, but she knows a lot about me!)
The-ginger-bloke
The-couple-with-Cornelius-cat (the cat looks like it should be called Cornelius)
The-druggies-parents

Not forgetting...

The druggie
The alky
& as perry081064 says - dealers 1,2 & 3

I'm guessing what they call me is unprintable!

On topic lol
My neighbours contrast remarkably. On one side we have the lovely people from Africa somewhere. Who's names I am embarrassed to say were complex and I have forgotten. They are either Nice Next Door or Lovely Next Door.
The other side are usually called anything that isn't nice, Tossers is the usual. Further up it's druggies, Them what Row A Lot etc. Further down are unknown until you get to The Dealers lol

We have the young set, who are next door, we have afro drug dealer 3/4 of the way down, fighter girl, shit parker, and as we have a gay couple nearby and so as not to confuse another couple with them, we have the young gays.

We have screamers in our street.
Mine are posher, they are hyphenated, the Door-Slammers. The technology of the door handle seems to be beyond their capacity to understand.

They have frequent screaming rows. They once had one at six in the morning - a fifteen-minute, screaming, Eastenders-style shouting match, followed by their ritual door-slamming and the car driving off.

It was a bit early for me, so I failed to count the number of car-door slams.

As there was such silence thereafter, I became genuinely concerned that there might be three bodies in the house and I spent the next fortnight checking the windows for flies, but they unfortunately returned and resumed what they think is normality.

what a brilliant idea for a thread.. i've never really given it any thought, but now you mention it we've nicknamed plenty of people on our road! currently, we have:

[real_name] from argos
the hippies
learner driver
the nice lady
the chavvy woman
the poor* people who live next to the mentalist
the mentalist
that small bitter looking woman
"lewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwis" (said as per Morse)


* poor as in "unfortunate", not as in not much money
