"Washing"
I live with my mighty fine lady in a ground floor maisonette in Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne. Our new upstairs neighbours have to share our yard for hanging washing etc...
They moved in 8 weeks ago while we were away, and after a few days we worked out it was 1 guy and 2 girls up there. No problem in that, its 3 bedrooms and the area of Newcastle we live in is mainly occupied by students in shared accommodation.
Then they started hanging washing in the yard. Now most normal people get their washing in once it drys. Not these guys and gals. It stays out until its been rained on. Twice. How do I know this? I have a broken leg (see profile for pic) and spend my days in a Hitchcock "Rear Window" style watching the goings on outside. Luckily for them, in even in August, it rains at least once a week in the North east. The record so far is 5 days left on the line. There are 5 tea towels out there now, 2 days on and still no rain....

Oh yeah, we offended them yesterday. They had a party on Tuesday night and one of the girls popped down on Wednesday morning to apologise for being noisy. My GF said "No problem, we just guessed it was a student party". The reply? "We're not students!" .... The mystery deepens.....
