NeighboursI used to live next door to a pair of elderly naturists, only finding out about their hobby when they bade me a cheerful, saggy 'Hello' while I was 25 feet up a ladder repairing the chimney. Luckily, a bush broke my fall, but the memory of a fat, naked man in an ill-fitting wig will live with me forever.

Sent a Christmas Card to our old Neighbours one year and didn't get one backI worried that I might have pissed them off somehow, we shared a garden so maybe I'd cut something he had planted or what not. Then weeks later I bump into Jim from upstairs.
"Sorry about not sending you a christmas card, we are Jehovah's Witnesses, usually we send a thank you card but we we're bogged down what with (a friends wedding they were helping to organise and host) ".
"Oh no worries, I had no idea you we're Jehovah's Wittnesses"
"Yeah well it's not like we have two heads or anything"
"It's not that, it's you've never came knocking on our door to ask if we've heard the word of the Lord"
Luckily he took it as the joke it was intended and Jim and myself became firm friends.
Length, about one year, I had to move out due to the Ex "wanting different things"

We have a JW two doors downand she doesn't bother us. In fact she doesn't bother anyone - she keeps her bit of the street free of litter and always takes in parcels for us. A perfect neighbour - almost Ned Flandersesque, if fact.
