Scary NeighboursMy immediate neighbours are lovely. But the next house down from that? Crimminy biscuits - he's a 70 year old taxi driver who loves to tell me at length about the people he's put in hospital and how Soho is "run by Maltese ponces." How scary are your neighbours?

Ah, the South BronxI used to volunteer at a kids' centre in the South Bronx. One day, I persuaded my friend to visit the centre with me. A lot of people are a bit afraid of the South Bronx (especially white folks cos you stick out like a sore thumb), so I was reassuring her that the stories of gangs, guns, violence etc were a bit overblown.
When we got to the centre, there was a police car and an ambulance outside the house next door. I asked someone what it was about and she said she didn't know, adding breezily 'Well one of the guys who lives there is crazy and the other one's a drug addict, so it's probably something to do with that'. Then the paramedics carried out a dead guy.
My friend went home.
