    Just that they look suspiciously like neighbours to me

    A new neighbour who I've started chatting with asked me the other day if I was a DJ or something (in the recent hot weather with the conservatory door open he, amongst others, have been treated to my choice of music). Went on to commend my taste

    You want to be careful with that. The area where my wife’s sister lives in the USA had a spate of cars being stolen a few years back, then the miscreants would use the car’s Satnav to take them to ‘the programmed ‘home’ location and rob the place.

    As a result, her husband changed the ‘home’ location in both their cars to the very large police station that was around a quarter of a mile from them!

    Well they wouldn't find me, the sat-nav doesn't understand the postcode and goes elsewhere.

    It's happened with every sat-nav I've tried.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Lol, what the pic doesn't show is that there's a path and a main road between those houses and me, which are probably at least 200 yards away, so I don't class them as neighbours!

    Nice one on the latter, did you get her number (if it was a 'her'), as it sounds like a come-on?

    Same here. It gets to within a road away, but it's the wrong road.

    Lol - he does a little... Don't really think it would've been your scene though (aside from the food and wine). Loud dance music with a load of youngsters jumping up and down on a bouncy castle and girlies cuddling each other in the wee small hours, when they've had too much to drink...
