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?

Welcome to the neighborhoodLast year I helped Pheeeeeel move out of his nice flat on the right side of the tracks, to a house on the wrong side - really just 1 mile away.
We had just dropped off the 2nd carload of his stuff (he has a large and varied collection of gentlemen's magazines) when we met the neighbours. Two teenagers mucking about with a gun. 50ft from his new des res.
"Funny" says Pheeeel - "I don't remember a neighbourhood watch service being mentioned by the letting agent". So we stopped the car.
Whilst I was getting out of the car to remonstrate with them about the safety measures one should adopt when handling firearms, Pheeeeeel suggested that it is quite hard to move house if the area has been cordoned off.
On idle days I do still wonder whether they subsequently have received proper firearms training, or have since shot each other in the feet, arms, head etc. ?
