Our next door neighbours are Asian. We get on fine. The husband, Tubbs, supports West Ham and likes a beer. We’ve had a round of golf or two.

My family love the smells of Indian cooking wafting over the fence and delight even more in the taste when we're given a dish or two.

But we haven’t spoken since the 7th July so we’re thinking of inviting them over for a meal. No big coats, rucksacks or shoes allowed though.

They will also be subject to frisking before they come in.

Other than that I’m sure it will be a great evening.
