The people I was talking about are not exactly 'friends'. They are friendly
neighbours. With our real friends I would have no hesitation in asking for
something. This thread has gone from me describing an evening with
neighbours who had the tv on but the sound very low and they were not paying
any attention to it - to us having to sit there with the tv blaring out and
being forced to watch it
