I was told by an educated person in the UK, the 'old one' has to welcome the newcomers.

In my home country the new neighbours have to introduce themselves, it is expected from you and nobody has a problem with it.

You have got your children well trained there

I don't know what Arsene was playing at by not signing a goalkeeper and for once I am glad we have cancelled Foxtel as my nerves can't cope with watching Arsenal's defence at the moment

I remember neighbours we had in England who supported Leeds and when they came over the first words my then 6 year old said to them was "dirty Leeds!"

Its football, good way to get to know your neighbours - ask Expatasia

I guess in years gone by the older more established neighbour would've done the welcoming but these days its not uncommon to live hext door to someone for years in the UK and never even say hello to them, never mind "get introduced"

What makes it worse is that he looks like Everton's Leon Osman

Tip him over the balcony for the gomi?

The Big One (long overdue here) will sort out the wimp.
