NO matter where you live, you have neighbours. Whether they are near or far, it’s always better when you’re on good terms. 

Saturday 28th September marks National Good Neighbour Day. It is a reminder of the importance of keeping harmony within your community.

The day started in the US in the early 1970s but has been adopted by the States’ neighbour from across the pond, the United Kingdom.  

Every year, 28^th September marks a day to celebrate your neighbours and community.  

Having good neighbours is vital to creating a peaceful and happy neighbourhood.

Bad neighbours can make your home, which should be a sanctuary, a living hell.  

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ONLINE BINGO, SLOTS AND SLINGOS

The Good Neighbor Mindset  

Good neighbours make great neighbourhoods.

With that in mind, Nationalgoodneighborday.com sites five pillars for “building great neighborhoods”.  

1. Connection. Introduce yourself and connect with others in your neighbourhood. It simply starts by saying “hello”.  

2. Invitation. Invite neighbours to join you for a meal or something fun. Gather around a table because the Latin word “communitas” means the spirit of community and it’s measured by the number of meals shared together.

3. Celebration. When it comes to birthdays, anniversaries or milestone moments in the lives of others, cheer them on and don’t miss out on congratulating them.  

4. Awareness. Keep your eyes and ears open. Stay attentive to the safety and security of the people and homes nearby. We are safe and stronger together.  

5. Availability. Availability is the highest benefit of good neighbours who truly care and look out for one another. When needed, show up to help and support others living around you.  

Being a good British neighbour  

In the UK, we also know the value of good neighbours.

However, the British attitude to getting involved within your neighbourhoods is more subtle than in the US.

Sun Bingo has put together this list of eight ways to be a good neighbour, the British way.  

1. The bins. Is it recycling this week? Garden waste? What colour bin does standard rubbish go into? Sometimes, the bin collection feels as random as the gods throwing a dart at a bin chart and that’s what’s being collected this week. However, someone in the community has to stand up and take charge of the situation. Every neighbourhood has one. They are the unsung heroes. At the very least, if you see a neighbour with the wrong bin out, let them know! Maybe wheel the bin back for an elderly or disabled neighbour to save them the hassle.  

2. What’s App. Some neighbourhoods communicate perfectly without a word being spoken. A block of flats or small road could really benefit from someone starting a communal messaging group where stories or updates about the community can be shared. If you are already a part of such a group, be a good neighbour by not spamming the chat!

3. Help with shopping. If you know someone who has difficulty getting themselves out and about, why not check whether there’s anything you can grab for them next time you’re on your way to the shops? As the weather gets colder, road conditions could make it harder for vulnerable people to go shopping.  

4. Car pool. As well as being good for the environment, car pools are good for communities! You and a group of local parents could discuss sharing the job of driving kids to school each day. For those close enough to walk, consider walking as a group.  

5. Parcels. Your parcel will be vaguely thrown in the direction of your home. Good neighbours will take in parcels for you, sign for them and keep them safe until you can collect them. If you’re in a flat, let the delivery man into the building so that your neighbour doesn’t have to go to the local collection centre for their missed package.

6. Support new parents. Check in with neighbours who have just had a baby and see if they need someone to walk the dog or do other odd jobs while they find their feet. A freshly cooked, homemade meal could also go a long way for the exhausted new mum and dad! 

7. Keep an eye out. Just be generally aware of what’s going on in your community. Let your neighbours know if you think there’s something that everyone in the neighbourhood should know about.  

8. Warn about parties. If you’re planning a big party that might make a lot of noise, let your neighbours know in advance. Apologise for any inconvenience and give a rough time that the party should wrap up. That lets those in your community make their own plans and be prepared for any disruptions.  

Being a good neighbour doesn’t have to take much time or effort, just be respectful and polite.  

Be the neighbour you wish to have!

KYREN WILSON blasted snooker chiefs after being dumped out of the British Open by Elliott Slessor last night.

The reigning world champion, 32, was beaten 4-2 by Slessor in Cheltenham.

Kyren Wilson has grown frustrated with the treatment he has received[/caption]

Despite winning at The Crucible, Wilson was not given top billing in Cheltenham.

Instead, his fourth round clash took place on Table 2.

Following his defeat, Wilson posted a strong message to his Instagram Story, criticising the treatment he has received this year.

In an X-rated post, he wrote: “Same s*** different day demoted to table 2 again and get found out! What benefits does a world champion get nowadays?

“Graveyard shift in Brentwood, table 2 in Saudi every game whilst being the number 1 seed there!

“Table 2 tonight in Cheltenham and being the highest ranked in the session… unfortunately nothing ever changes with the sport I love, if your face doesn’t fit… tough [thumbs up emoji].”

After his Instagram post began to circulate online, Wilson added a further blast on X.

He wrote: “People can have their opinions, Always been that you earn the right for the privileges. Apparently not anymore.

“I always try to promote the sport & be a good ambassador for it, What’s the point?”

During his illustrious career to date, Wilson has won 10 professional titles.

He defeated Jak Jones 18-14 back in May to become world champion for the first time.

Wilson also reached the Crucible final in 2020, but lost out on that occasion to Ronnie O’Sullivan.

Since becoming world champion, he has added one further title to his resume.

He beat Judd Trump 10-8 last month to win the Xi’an Grand Prix in China.

Wilson banked £500,000 for his Crucible exploits earlier this year.

In total he has earned more than £3.5m in prize money during his career.

Wilson isn’t the only snooker star to have grown frustrated this week.

Former world No1 Mark Allen apologised to ITV’s Rob Walker after furiously claiming that the British Open table needed to be “burnt” following his 4-3 first round win over Gary Wilson.

Speaking to ITV‘s snooker reporter, Allen said: “The conditions out there are absolutely embarrassing.

It’s some of the worst weather outside and they’ve left the massive transport doors open. It’s so cold, it’s so humid out there.

“There’s new guys doing the tables this year and they’re clearly not up to it.

“The cushions are unplayable, uncontrollable. It was heavy… the table needs to be burned.”

AMAZON has heard shopper’s cries for autumn and winter fashion deals, and reduced a variety of waterproof jackets to under £10.

One of the many items on sale includes Regatta’s Stormbreaker Jacket, which has been slashed from £30 down to £8.99.

Regatta Mens Stormbreaker Jacket, £14.95 (was £30)

The Regatta Men’s Stormbreaker Jacket has been reduced by 50% in the Amazon sale.

I spotted this big-brand wet-weather essential on Amazon’s Movers and Shakers selection – sales have rocketed by 263%.

This discount comes with perfect times as the UK braces itself for heavy downpours and floods.

The jacket has been reduced to as little as £14.90 on the Amazon website, though prices vary across sizes and colours.

The Regatta Men’s Stormbreaker Jacket may be listed as best for men, but, as a woman, I would gladly wear this waterproof for Sunday strolls on a wet and windy afternoon.

Plus, there are plenty of sizes to protect children from the elements too.

The Stormbreaker is available in children’s sizes aged 2 to 14 years old, in sizes from small to XXXL, and to fit those with a 32-inch and 34-inch chest.

The jacket is mid-length, as it falls just under the bottom, has long sleeves, and a hood.

It’s a lightweight waterproof, which is perfect to style over light layers for the spring and summer, as well as layer over chunky knitwear in the colder months too.

Plus, this light fabric makes it easy to roll up and keep in a rucksack when on the go, so you are not caught out in a downpour – we all know how unpredictable the British weather can be.

One detail I love are the taped seams, which prevent any draughts or droplets from seeping into the jacket that leaves the wearer wet and cold.

This Regatta jacket is actually an item that Sun writer Charlie Thomas featured in his pick of the best men’s jackets.

Shoppers have praised this wet-weather item for how lightweight, durable and comfortable it is.

One happy shopper gushed: “Simple, effective, super-light and very comfortable. I would recommend buying a size up, as I am a medium and it was snug with a jumper under it.”

Another added: “Good quality, fitted perfectly, has pockets. Lightweight and comfortable.”

A separate shopper wrote: “[An] ideal waterproof [that’s] well made and does the job. The fit is good too.”

While another review read: “Great colour, true to size and very durable. Folds up very small to fit into a bag. Perfect for light showers.”

Another Amazon customer wrote: “Living in the UK, you know at some time you’ll be caught in a shower, and this jacket fits the bill. It is nicely made and fits well.”

It’s unknown how long the Amazon deal will last for, but I would suggest you act fast to pick it up at half-price – and just for this current spell of wet weather.

Let’s be honest: this isn’t the last rain we’ll be seeing in the UK.
