A new survey has revealed where the nosiest neighbours in the UK live, and Leeds has found itself in the top 10.
In an ideal world, we’d all love to just get along with our neighbours, right?
Sometimes though, that’s not always possible, as some neighbours are loud, others are inconsiderate, and a few may even attempt to have a sneaky peak through your blinds after you leave for work – but where exactly do the so-called “nosiest” neighbours in the UK live?
Well, in an attempt to figure this out, custom blinds company, Make My Blinds, decided to ask 2,000 Brits about both their neighbours’ nosy habits, and some they’re guilty of too.

The results of the new nationwide survey have revealed what people really think of their neighbours based on a range of different factors – including whether they listen-in to neighbours’ conversations, whether they have caught their neighbours spying, and loads more juicy details.
Top 10 UK Cities with the Nosiest Neighbours
Belfast
Norwich
Manchester
Glasgow
London
Leeds
Newcastle
Cardiff
Nottingham
Birmingham
Yes, Leeds has been ranked sixth on the list.
It’s the Northern Irish capital Belfast, though, that’s taken the top spot – with two-thirds of residents classing their neighbours as nosy.
Norwich, Glasgow, and London all round out the top five, and Manchester and Newcastle are some of the fellow Northern cities that join Leeds in making their way into the top 10.
Looking at the survey as a whole though, it was found that over half the UK population considers their neighbours to be nosy, and 60% admitted to watching their neighbours activities.
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
