Britain's nosiest neighbourhoods revealed as survey ranks top curtain-twitching cities – how does your hometown rank?
Scroll to see how your hometown ranked WHO NOSE? Britain's nosiest neighbourhoods revealed as survey ranks top curtain-twitching cities – how does your hometown rank? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE UK's nosiest neighbourhoods have been revealed, with a few surprising contenders nabbing top spots. A study saw 2,418 adults across cities throughout Britain and Northern Ireland scored and ranked on their curtain twitching tendencies. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A study revealed the nosiest neighbourhoods in the UK 2 Many said they thought having a nosy neighbour was harmless It revealed Belfast, Worcester, and Brighton are home to the UK's nosiest neighbours. And the Northern Irish capital scored highest overall - ahead of Worcester, which came second, and Brighton and Hove, which came third. They were evaluated in six categories, including how often they look out their windows to observe their neighbours. Other considerations included how many neighbours they follow on social media, how many claim to know everyone on their street, and how many are members of neighbourhood WhatsApp groups. How many consider themselves to be nosy also informed the overall score, as did how many also think those living nearby are "curious". Commissioned by Škoda, the study found 35 per cent consider themselves to be nosy. Spokesperson Kirsten Stagg said: "Nosiness is practically a national sport in Britain. "Whether it's a new car on the driveway or a new family moving in, we can't help but take a peek. "Being a nosy neighbour isn't just harmless fun - it helps build safer, more connected communities and even sparks conversations, especially around new technology like electric cars." Out of everyone polled, it emerged the most common time for observing the neighbours is between 6pm and 8pm. DIY Privacy Fences: Affordable Garden Solutions And although nosiness is often considered to be a negative trait, it isn't necessarily a bad thing – 47 per cent believe being a nosy neighbour is harmless. While 34 per cent reckon it's a good thing, because it's helpful in cases of emergency, and helps keep the neighbourhood safe. With 35 per cent of the opinion it builds a stronger sense of community. The study also found through observation alone those polled have learnt very specific details about those living close by. These include what they do for a living, the time they leave for work, and where they shop based on their bags. They've also noticed deliveries being made, their workout schedule, and a new car on the driveway. The latter a subject those polled have a particular fascination with – 70 per cent know the colour of their neighbour's car. Almost half know the make, 35 per cent the model, and 15 per cent can even recall the registration. And if anyone living close-by was to purchase an electric vehicle (EV) that could also get curtains twitching – 16 per cent would be curious and want to know what it's like. While 14 per cent would be impressed by their green credentials and 22 per cent would support their decision. Carried out through OnePoll, the study commissioned by the makers of the all-electric Škoda Enyaq revealed how those polled perceive EV drivers and being eco-conscious came top. With tech savvy and trendy also common perceptions.

Flat that appeared in iconic Brit TV show being auctioned for just £190K – do YOU recognise it?
It was also used in another popular movie HOUSE THAT? Flat that appeared in iconic Brit TV show being auctioned for just £190K – do YOU recognise it? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ICONIC flat from a beloved British TV show is being auctioned off for just £190,000. Housed inside a uniquely curve-designed building, it was used as the lead character's home across the show's more than two decade run. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 The building has an iconic curved shape with the flat located on the third floor Credit: auctionhouse 8 It is a studio flat located that was on auction from £190K Credit: auctionhouse 8 The space measures 209 sq ft, or less than 20 sq m Credit: auctionhouse 8 Amenities in the building include a swimming pool and sauna Credit: auctionhouse It is a third-floor flat that is located in the centre of London, which was auctioned this month. The Grade II-listed building has an Art Deco design that was constructed in 1936, making it unique for its time. Built by Guy Morgan and Partners, it has an iconic curved shape which may be recognisable in one of Britain's favourite TV shows than ran for more than two decades. The building was used as the Whitehaven Mansions, which was the home of Agatha Christie's beloved fictional detective Hercule Poirot. Inside the block, actually called Florin Court, there are nine floors with 120 flats, which contains porter service, two lifts and a secure entry system. Other amenities include an indoor swimming pool, sauna, gym and communal lounge, which were considered rare additions during the time it was built. There is also a rooftop garden with views across the city. This £190,000 priced property is located in London's Barbican, on Charterhouse Square. Pricing is before fees, but it is a small flat. Flat 28 of Florin Court measures just 209 sq ft or less than 20 sq. TV legend David Suchet stars as murder mystery detective Poirot in Poirot The space is therefore very a studio, even smaller than the minimum requirements now in place for new built single-person homes at 37 sq m. Within the studio there is a bedroom and living space, as well as separate areas for the kitchenette and bathroom. However, it does prove to be in the prime location of central London with easy access to the City of London, the Elizabeth line, or Barbican and Farringdon underground stations. It is also described to be situated on a residential road with plent of shops and amenities close by. Amongst those include the open spaces of the Barbican Wildlife Garden. 8 Whitehaven Mansions was depicted as the home of the famous Agatha Christie detective 8 It was Hercule Poirot's home, which was played by David Suchet between 1989 and 2013 Credit: ITV And of course, a great appeal to the property is its architecture and design, which may have made it attractive for directors to use it as a set location. Both the interior and exterior of the block of flats was shot for the iconic British TV show across its 24 years of production. Agatha Christie's Poirot even had an episode called The Third Floor Flat in its first season of running in 1989. This flat that has been put on auction is therefore ideal for fans of the show, or even just to admire its architecture. Florin Court was even used again for the filming of one of Batman's leading character spin-offs, "Pennywise" in 2019. The property is currently held on a 999 year lease from 1st April 2017, therefore being approximately 991 years unexpired. It also has an EPC rating of C, being auctioned by Auction House this month. Viewings reportedly took place on the afternoons of August 1 and August 5 for the flat, however it is still being listed as unsold. 8 The property also has a gym, a communal lounge and rooftop garden Credit: auctionhouse

At least 56 dead & dozens missing after Himalayan flash flooding sweeps through towns leaving them caked in mud
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AT least 56 people have been killed and dozens more are missing after flash floods tore through a remote Himalayan village in Indian-controlled Kashmir. Officials said sudden, torrential rains triggered the disaster in Chasoti, Jammu and Kashmir – the last vehicle-accessible stop on the popular pilgrimage route to the Machail Mata temple.

'A large number of pilgrims had gathered for lunch and they were washed away,' one official told Reuters. Initial estimates suggest at least 80 people remain missing, with more feared trapped under debris, Sky News reports. Rescue teams have brought around 200 people to safety, but at least 50 of them are badly injured and receiving treatment in local hospitals. 'Army, air force teams have also been activated. Search and rescue operations are underway,' said Ramesh Kumar, the divisional commissioner of Kishtwar district. Local resident Abdul Majeed Bichoo, 75, said he saw the bodies of eight people being pulled from the mud. Chasoti, he said, had become a 'sight of complete devastation from all sides.' He added: 'It was heartbreaking and an unbearable sight. I have not seen this kind of destruction of life and property in my life.' Footage showed terrified pilgrims wading through rising water as it surged through the village. The pilgrimage, which began in July and was due to end on 5 September, has now been suspended. At least 31 nursing home residents left to drown in horror China floods - as Xi's officials make chilling admission 8 Homes and cars were all swept away by the muddy waters 8 At least 80 people are still reported missing India's deputy science and technology minister Jitendra Singh confirmed the flooding was caused by a cloudburst – a sudden downpour of more than 100mm of rain in an hour – which is becoming increasingly common in the Himalayas. Omar Abdullah, chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, said on X: 'The news is grim and accurate, verified information from the area hit by the cloudburst is slow in arriving.' Prime Minister Narendra Modi said 'the situation is being monitored closely' and offered his prayers to 'all those affected by the cloudburst and flooding.' The tragedy comes just over a week after a similar deluge wiped out an entire village in India's Uttarakhand state. Meanwhile in China, record-breaking floods have killed at least 38 people and forced more than 80,000 from their homes. Torrential downpours battered swathes of northern China late July, including the capital Beijing, in what locals described as a 'once in a hundred years' deluge. 8 Flash floods killed at least 56 and left dozens missing in Indian-controlled Kashmir Credit: AP 8 Rescuers inspect the site of a flashflood at a village in Kishtwar district Credit: AFP Dramatic footage showed streets transformed into raging rivers, murky floodwater swallowing homes, cars and highways, and uprooted trees piled high in devastated towns. Beijing's Miyun district, northeast of the city centre, was the worst-hit, with spillways at the Miyun Reservoir roaring at their highest levels since its construction in 1959. Nearby Huairou and Fangshan districts were also inundated, while more than 130 villages have lost power. In the neighbouring city of Tianjin, over 10,000 people were evacuated, and in Hebei province a landslide killed eight people in a village near Chengde, with four still missing. On social media, residents posted anxious messages about being unable to contact loved ones in the mountainous Xinglong county. Chinese President Xi Jinping has urged officials to prepare for 'worst-case scenarios' and speed up the relocation of residents in danger zones. The government has pledged 350 million yuan (£42m) for disaster relief in nine affected regions, plus a separate 200 million yuan for Beijing alone.
