im too nosy to be missed! when you get old or on your own, keep standing at the front door every morning, even to say hello, and the day you dont go to the door your neighbours will know about it!

so no i wont be missed

It is something that bothers me from time to time. I'm sure that work would be rather irate for a while if I didn't turn in, and a few non-league football clubs would have to find someone else to do whiskey draws, sell programmes, mop dressing rooms etc.......

Poor ******

Sometimes though, people want to live a reclusive life. You can only be around for some one who wants you around I suppose. I'd like to think I'd notice if some one I knew was missing for a year though

How many can name their neighbours 6 doors down?

I put it down to living on a busy road that people don't tend to hover about outside chatting like they used to do, especially with people at the other side of the road.

When we lived in Rutland street there was an old man called tom he lived next door but one to us he kept himself to himself you never saw him out no family .
you would see him in his front garden now and then and he allways said hello but that was about it.
anyway one christmas he came round with two turkey legs saying he had bought too much and would we like them we said thanks and he went back home
The next day i went round to say thankyou properly but could not get an answer i new he was in so i went round the back and climbed over the gate and knocked on the back door but still now answer so i told anne to ring the police they broke in and found him dead behind the front door we found out later he had died the day before after getting home from giving us the turkey .
Me and a friend that lived next door went to the funeral and we where shocked to find only 3 people there .
The other person was a distant relative .
Who we had never seen he thanked us for helping tom
but it was a real shock and he could have been there for weeks if i had not gone round.

Going the other way IE from old people to very young
This is from the Telegraph but again it was me that found the baby

Last plea to baby Alice's mum
From the Lancashire Evening Telegraph, first published Thursday 8th Feb 1996.

POLICE have made a final appeal for the mother of a baby abandoned in an Accrington alley to contact them.

Tiny tot Alice was discovered in the alleyway near Rutland and longsdale Street in August of last year wrapped in a pink blanket just hours after she was born.

The baby was taken into the care of Social Services and a massive publicity campaign was launched in a bid to trace her parents. Social services will be going to court to start adoption proceedings for baby Alice and are also calling for her mum to contact them

Appeals were made in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph and a massive poster campaign was also launched.

Despite further calls on television and radio the mystery mum was never traced.

Police at Accrington received one telephone call from a distraught woman claiming to be the mother but she never rang again.

Det Inspector Jim Oldcorn, the head of Accrington CID, said: "Sadly it seems we have exhausted all our lines of inquiry and we have failed to reunite this baby with her mother."

Anyone with information about the whereabouts of Alice's mother can contact Accrington CID

i never did find out what happend to the child
