General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

i sa hello to my next door neighbour if we are both pegging out at the same time and might have a short chat. I live in a street of 34 houses. Most I don't know and about 6 we exchange a passing hello.only one i will have a long chat with because our children grew up together.
I too remember summer evenings when mums would come out and chat all evening while the children played, and they would chat while waiting to be served in shops - supermarkets stopped all that. Yes we are more isolated and it's a shame. There must be may lonely people out there who don't speak to anyone for days on end.
