How To… Make sure you are cultivating the best possible relationship with your neighbours

Key Points To Remember:

Make sure you always park in what they consider to be their parking space.

If this is not possible, do make sure you leave the front of your car hanging about a foot over their drop kerb.

Share your music. Neighbours love to keep up to date with your current faves.

At night, make sure you push your headboard right up against the connecting wall.

Stamp up those stairs. Every single time. If you live in a flat, slamming doors is a good alternative.

Remember, if you must row really loudly, make sure next door can enjoy the entertainment. We want to know what the consequence of Steve banging some slapper from down the road is going to be.

Mow the lawn at 6.30am every single Sunday.

DIY is best done until around 11pm in the evenings.

Get a trampoline. If you have shy, retiring neighbours, this is a great way to become friends.

If this fails, then a football against their fence ought to do it.
