In London, you hear stories of people dying in their flats or houses and no one discovering them for weeks, months or 2 years in the case of Joyce Carol Vincent, as depicted in the drama documentary film [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreams_of_a_Life]Dreams of a Lifehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dreams_of_a_Life[/url], and this case from February of this year [url=https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10535471/Woman-lay-dead-London-flat-nearly-THREE-YEARS-desp]https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10535471/Woman-lay-dead-London-flat-nearly-THREE-YEARS-desp[/url]. This is modern Britain, people increasingly live their lives in an insular manner. Shopping online, watching films on NetFlix, instead of going to the cinema, playing video games instead of socializing, working from home, and having Facebook friends that they've never met instead of real friends. We increasingly live in bubbles and have little interaction with others, very sad indeed, no wonder people have so many mental health problems.[/quote]

Some people like to be reserved and recluse, there are no dramas for them. I love high street shopping, eating out and the occasional drink in the pub. I haven't got the patience to sit through films and I normally fall asleep.

Neighbours can either be your best friend or your very worst enemy, some neighbours can hate you for no reason. It's funny how strangers talk to each other in pubs but never on trains or buses.[/quote]

Never on trains and busses?  :S I am plagued. I wouldn't mind, but  my default facial expression is  a glare,  so it is not as if I encourage it.[/quote]

How did Mr Honey seduce you or chat you up if you glare? I need answers now. :laugh:  :laugh:[/quote]

I say hello and give a cheery smile.. but there's no particular closeness with invitations for cups of teas and biscuits.. most are from the Indian sub continent and probably not interested in a middle aged sort of retired fellow like me who's not from those exotic locations.. Trains, busses and trams - all busy with people... rarely do I strike up a conversation with anyone.. I usually drift into my own little world and listen to music and dabble on my iPhone.. Years ago, I lived in a small block of flats, hardly anyone knowledge one another I tried to be polite to a tenant with a hello and a nod. I was just glared at and ignored. One tenant was a cool though he was an ex-burglar who helped me get back to my flat when I locked myself out. I had to lie to the landlord and say someone gave my door a good kicking. He actually did the door lock and door had minor damage. I didn't say who did it of course. I got a new lock the next day. I didn't strike up a friendship with the tenant, but we did say hello if we saw each other in the hallway.
JK2006	My shopping trip today contained 20 minutes of chats to neighbours. I think many are so relieved by the end of stupid lockdowns they are delighted to talk. And I've never watched an episode of Neighbours (or Home and Away) either. We each have our favourites. Currently only Doctors in the soaps category for me. I used to love The Bill. And Corrie when it started 60 years ago. Elsie, Eena!
