Neighbours XVI

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 …

Neighbours Part XV

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. And the evidence is there, plain as day, for all to see. He won’t deny it either, as he doesn’t really seem to stop and …

Neighbours Part XIV

There have been developments at our block of flats since the last episode of the Neighbours. Flat 12 has now sold, and it’s not been sold to a Buy to Let investor. So the longest standing couple in the block are having to move away, which is a shame. Flat 8 is now on the …

Neighbours Part XIII

Neighbours Part XI

I haven't mentioned the neighbours for a while. Truth be told, there's not an awful lot to mention. Number 6, the flat above ours was sold, and the new person moved in. A youngish chap, but he seems the sensible sort, not the rowdy type. He's not made any noise to speak of, and that's …

Neighbours Part X

As this is the tenth post in the Neighbours series, I feel it’s appropriate to switch from spelled numbers to Roman numerals. That’s how it’s normally done. There have been developments in the block. Specifically at Number 2. We haven’t had settled neighbours in that flat since the Portuguese/Polish couple left in October 2018 to …
