Of course, living here in the English People's Kingdom, when they would do evil, evil is present.
Here, they don't actually try to help.
At least, unless the help is an insult designed to make us think we had a chance but 'blew it'.
No.
Here they try to hinder.
In a country without guns, we become criminals as soon as we try to defend ourselves against the legion of oppressions that tries to batter us down every day.
We could submit; but I have a feeling that these creatures are the kind of cowardly scum who would simply be encouraged by this into ever greater atrocity.
Altogether now-"Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, with a little understanding, we can find the perfect blend....
Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, that's when good neighbours become good friends."
Let's face it, the North American version of help doesn't.
But it is supposed to.
The British version doesn't either.
But it is supposed to make Britain look good in North America.

Tangentially, America and Australia can afford to be expansive with their neighbourliness. Here there just ain't room.
Yes, I agree.
Thing is, do we really have to build semi-detached houses and blocks of flats without soundproofing?
A six inch space between walls wouldn't break the bank, but it would liberate millions;when Le Corbusier built the first mass housing development of the twenties, he included sound proofing, which many imitators ignored.
Americans also don't like you getting too close when conversing. Their sense of personal space is greater than some Europeans.
Semi detacheds are indeed a curse.
Asians don't seem to mind living on top of one another - or is that racist?! Just a cultural fact!
Didn't someone invent a device that actually prevents noise from neighbours? It sucks in the sounds but I'm not technical minded to explain it...
I think the device you are thinking of was the negative interference sound transmitter-it cancels out regular (but not random)sounds and was designed for warships.
A great deal of terraced housing is occupied by poor, struggling, thriving and striving Asians;my guess is they know how to live close to people without being sick.
I'd be prepared to risk it.
The worst that could happen is some sexy Indian minx would seduce me.
No miscegenation round here...
Their family values are admirable -there's no gainsaying it...
