Nihal: Do Asians make the worst neighbours?

Do Asians make the worst neighbours?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Do Asians make the worst neighbours?

Do Asians make the worst neighbours? Plus it's our weekly news quiz Guess the Story with our three studio guests.

At 1- Do Asians make the worst neighbours?

We're asking this today because a new survey by the respected "Which?" magazine says that more than FIVE MILLION people in the UK suffer from annoying neighbours, but we were wondering is it more of a problem to deal with when your annoying neighbour is Asian?

There's loads of good things about having Asian neighbours; there's a sense of community, they're reliable and trustworthy, and there's no need for a neighbourhood watch. But when things go bad it can quickly become a nightmare. Have you ever had a problem with an Asian neighbour? How did it resolve itself?

Have you had an issue with people leaving rubbish in their garden, bhangra being played all night next door, stealing all the parking in the street, or sticking their nose in business that doesn't belong to them? 

What happened when you tried to tackle a problem? Did it resolve itself? Would you ever report an Asian neighbour to the authorities? Would it have been easier to sort out if it was a white neighbour?

After 2- We'll be playing our weekly news quiz Guess The Story. Call 08459 440 445 or Text 81869.
