Britain is becoming an unneighbourly nation with many of us no longer knowing anything about those living next door.
A quarter of the population do not know the names of their neighbours, while more than three quarters do not know what they do for a living, a survey found.
And 3.5million people have never even seen the person who lives next door.

The results will add to fears that community life has broken down, with many people isolated from those that live closest by.
More than 20 per cent of respondents said they have had an argument with a neighbour in the past five years, while 3 per cent said they felt threatened by them.
Changing faces: People moving more frequently is one of the reasons for a drop in neighborliness
The survey, by property website FindaProperty.com, comes less than a month after the Queen called on everyone in Britain to be a good neighbour to celebrate her Diamond Jubilee.
Samantha Baden, property analyst, said: ‘As a nation, we are becoming increasingly isolated from our neighbours, despite the fact that most of us would like to be much closer to them.
‘People move homes more frequently than they used to so we’ve less time to get to know the people who live nearby.
‘The growth of social media has left us more likely to [stay at home] and less inclined to go out and socialise.
‘Knowing your neighbours can improve security and quality of life.
‘It is also worth keeping in mind that sellers have an obligation to disclose details of any complaints made against their neighbours to buyers – and this really can impact on your ability to sell a property.’
Despite the bleak figures, almost a fifth of all respondents said they would like to have a better relationship with the people who live next door.

We get on ok with our neighbours, mind, they woke us up at 04:30 this morning so not happy with them at the moment…

So sad to read some of the comments about neighbours, that’s why politicians and rich people like me like to live in very large houses in their own grounds so we can get away from the Hoi Polloi and all their irritating habits in trying to get to know each other. As Father used to quote, ‘If you have a pedigree you don’t want to mix with mongrels do you’?

My daughter has Polish neighbours who can’t speak English and whose children are a pain in the backside…….enough said!

It doesn’t help that eveyone puts up 6ft fences between properties rather than the three foot ones we had as children.

I live on a relatively small road with a few houses around us and I do not have a clue who my neighbours are and frankly I couldn’t care less.

Well, I beg to differ. We know all our neighbours, take parcels in for them when they’re out they do the same for us. Chat to them in the street have a laugh. We have spare keys for a couple of them check the house of one when she’s away feed her fish. She reciprocates by feeding the cats when we’re away. A couple from up the road organise a BBQ once a year in the cul-de-sac end of the street they’re organising a street BBQ on the bank holiday in June. Even those neighbours who I don’t know by name always wave. It was the same at the house where I lived before at the flats before that. We don’t live in each others pockets but it is nice knowing they are there that we all keep an eye out for each other.

My neighbours are 18 Poles. Just TRY pronouncing their names!!!!!!!

I live in a cul-de-sac and know the names of everyone in the street and regularly chat to everyone and they all even bought my daughter birthday presents for her 1st birthday. It is great and you do feel more secure but it always feels as though you have no privacy.

It’s difficult to get to know people if you don’t spend a lot of time in your garden. I only know my next door neighbours as I used to smoke and we would chat. With the post office scheme where they leave parcels with neighbours more people will meet and I think that’s a good thing (as long as they are nice obviously)
