It was a bit like that living in cities like London and Glasgow.

People are more transient, and you don't get the neighbourliness you often get in small towns, especially in the north.

I'm lucky I have great neighbours now. There when you need them, and visa versa.

Missed Margaret's post re: her wreath the first time round. Really had me howling. Read like a script from Last of the Summer Wine, only funnier because it's set in Lancashire instead.
