I think they must have introduced themselves when they first moved in, but neither of us could remember their actual names. They were the loveliest London neighbours we've ever had - the kind you trust to feed your cat when you go on holiday - and we'd spend hours chatting over the fence. It eventually took us almost a year to get their proper names - we got to that point where you're way too friendly to say 'what's your name again'. Steve coined them Bert and Ernie, and it sort of stuck, even after we knew their real names. The fear of using the wrong name to their faces was a real and ever-present danger....<br /><br />:)Kirstyhttp://kirstyneale.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-61861847201829166032010-05-12T11:15:54.575+01:002010-05-12T11:15:54.575+01:00I say leave Darren as he was,unique and instantly ...I say leave Darren as he was,unique and instantly recognizable like those I know as Mr.halfmast and her with the hair....I wonder what I'm called?cazzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-39525406030464098822010-05-11T19:55:10.928+01:002010-05-11T19:55:10.928+01:00How funny, you aren't the only one don't w...How funny, you aren't the only one don't worry.

And since we're on the same street as a school, twice/day we're passed by "the smoking women", "aaauuughhh!" and "Daisy Dukes + leggings [still don't cover enough of her]".Tinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09318639950463203137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-65594622753871440842010-05-11T14:48:37.501+01:002010-05-11T14:48:37.501+01:00Don't worry, you're not alone.

We have 'Daniel Beddingfield', Natasha Beddingfield (his wife - creepy) and 'That Ginger Beddingfield' (their daughter) <br /><br />There's also the Mr 'Beaten down by life', that fat American, The Man with more dogs than he can handle and a woman I simple refer to as Nemesis, although I forget why....
