Peter P, it's one of a long list of stupid stuff he has done (he has a certain nutty swagger about him). I have been super nice to him which is doing his head in (I wave when I see him, say hello in a v cheery voice, gave them my phone number when he had a bad leg (in case he needed help when his wife was out - made his wife cry because no one had been so nice to them, etc). We don't speak to our landlord often, but when we do he always asks if everything is ok with the neighbour. I feel sorry for his wife, half expect her to start lobbing notes over the fence asking for us to he her escape.
