ED neighbours....

'Ooh, can I borrow a cup of lime pickle?....'

[PeckhamRose]

Now that's a funny thread.

See, my side of the park it's still "Have you got any semi skimmed"?

[nancysmum]

my neighbour asked me for pasta the other week...i has happy to oblige!

[HonaloochieB]

Of course you can MLTeenie, I know how it is when you run out.

Consider the pickle a gift, but I'd appreciate the return of the cup.

Those ones with the portrait of the late playwright Arthur Miller are hard to come by these days.

I have been asked for Balsamic in the past year- this is not a joke either

( of course I was happy to oblige, but it wasnt the required vintage sadly )

You lying sod Snorky.

The vintage bit is a lie, the balsamic request to true

[giggirl]

My ED neighbour is the most charming man you could ever hope to meet. Years ago, in the days when I still smoked, he would cadge a ciggie. That's it. No lime pickle and no balsamic. Nothing more exotic than a Silk Cut.

He came here from Jamaica in the early 50s, bought his house (he told me once how much he paid for it; I've forgotten now, but it was something like ?500), worked his butt off, and raised a large family. He talks to everyone and he keeps his eye on my house when I'm away (which is frequently) to make sure that the bins aren't left on the path so that the house looks empty. I wouldn't want to live next to anyone else.

[Kells]

I've had someone ring the buzzer to my flat and ask me if I was the caretaker. And then seem really put out when I said no!

Have to explain - I have the flat which the concierge used to live in. But it seems we've fallen on hard times, so now they have me

[Michael Palaeologus]

Kells - can I borrow some floor polish please? Just a bit, for my hall's parquet flooring, and a lend of the buffing machine would be nice too.

Ta.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I once borrowed some baking soda from my lovely neighbour. Moral - don't start making soda bread without it.

[????]

Asking for baking soda in Peckham........um...........police raid your place a fair bit PGC?

[SeanMacGabhann]

Haven't I mentioned my neighbour? She is well lush (in the gorgeous sense - not the booze sense)

[Michael Palaeologus]

You do have one HOT neighbour Mr Mac ...

[Kells]

But you're a married man! I might move, I need some cheering up.....

[Michael Palaeologus]

Who is married? Where's my floor polish?

Will you be out early clearing the snow from the paths Kells?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I am, to all intents and purposes, married. Nor would I consider cheating.. but I can say what I see surely?

[????]

Absolutely...just 'cos you haven't got any money, doesn't mean you can't go windowshopping

[Mick Mac]

Sure - when you get married you don't stop looking, you just buy reflective sunglasses, so only you know your looking.

[CamberwellOz]

You can have our neighbour. She is the worst person I have ever lived next to in my life.

[TillieTrotter]

My neighbours rather lovely too;-)

[Keef]

Didn't you say your neighbour was some weird Irish guy TT? Have seen your neighbour Sean, and agree, she's a babe!

[TillieTrotter]

You guys:-$

SM, I'm glad you had the foresight to get Roy Walker to make a contribution to your wedding vows.
