And there was deaf Richard…. RIP, sadly passed away now. True story, he was caught stealing breeze blocks from a site when they were building new houses down the road….. he’s would go in the middle of the night with his wheelbarrow and fill it...

Jeff and Dinner Jacket live across the street from us. She is Jeff because she does all the blue jobs and he is...
