When we first moved to Stirling we ived in a flat on Broad St - an old fashioned tenement type affair. Never really saw our neighbours. About six months after we moved in, they had to smash in the door of the flat below us. Poor woman had been deid for months and the stink was unbelievable. The smell lingered in the close for weeks.
Anyway, that was probably why we never saw our neighbours.
A student moved in and I was speaking to him a month or so later. He didn't know, so I gave him all the details. He moved out.
Quiet wee tenement so it was.
