Good neighbours????

[LADA]

The government are urging everyone to keep an eye on their neighbours during this never ending cold snap but the 99 year old next to me hasn't looked in once to check I'm ok.

The lazy b hasn't even taken her milk in for a fortnight.....

 

[Gafferbill]

..you need to keep up Robert.

She has gone to Jamaica on a two-week limbo-dancing holiday and has obviously forgotten to cancel the milk.

Respect for the milkman for getting through with the milk though.

Can see why they haven't looked in Robert, they know you are a grumpy old fart and wouldn't appreciate any help -)

 

[ValA.]

No, the reason she hasn't looked in is that she's been clearing the snow from your paths, the footpath outside your house, your drive, and cleaning your car windscreen every day. After that she's been doing shopping for the youngsters next door who can't get out because they can't find their shoes, then she's made them a meal because they're too busy watching TV.

Maybe she'll get around to you later.

Where are all these do gooders?

No ones knocked to take my dogs out!

We keep an eye on the old couple over the road as indeed do Waitrose home delivery.

Cheers

For the last ten years i have looked after our neighbours all year round, from mending fences, washing m/c taking them for doctors/hospital appointments and so on and enjoyed doing it. Jim sadly died aged 86 and Betty could no longer cope so her son took her to his place far away.Other neighbours said i was mad to keep on doing these jobs because they could quite afford to get trades people in.Before she moved i helped her to go through some papers which she could not understand and was amazed that she was worth nearly

It's nice to be able to take care of older people, my response was tounge in cheek.
