In the last episode, the tenants in Flat 12 were on their way out, thanks to their landlord selling up. She had accepted an offer, and the place needed to be vacated by May. But the sale fell through, and despite dropping the price by £10k, it remains unsold. The landlord of Flat 8 has … Continue reading Neighbours XVI
Our block of flats has a new villain. It’s the new chap at Number 6. He moved in just four months ago, but he’s already demonstrated a selfish, inconsiderate streak.

What’s new in the block, you might be wondering. Well, let’s see now. The new girl at No 2 is settling in.

Their departure has come as no surprise. We never really got to know them during their 9 month stay. We exchanged hellos when … Continue reading Neighbours Part Eight
We’re in! And so is the recycling bin offender at No 8. This will be an excellent opportunity for yours truly to provide a confrontation free training session on correct use of the bins. I shall gather an armful of recyclable picnic trash to dump, and then reject Mrs Ps scripted offer of a carrier … Continue reading Neighbours Part Seven
