Not one person in the community owns a washing machine. I know I know, but I cannot get over it. They cost so very little these days (yes, you, Ian Beale)!.
Your most darkest secret will be shouted out in the local pub by a complete stranger (yes, you, Roxy!)

You have a low paid job, never actually seem to go to work, yet still afford a house, to go to the pub every night and go for breakfast and lunch in the cafe.

You seemingly sleep with anyone in the village, street, or neighbourhood as there seems to be no one else out there from the big town near by.

You can leave a room as one person and come back a completely different one,and no-one ever says a word.

- You will also launch into the latter stages of labour immediately, with screaming and contractions every 30 seconds.
- Young characters can magically appear with a different face and age overnight by several years. - If you have a child, you’re social life will not be affected as you will spend your days as you did before said child, without uttering the word ‘babysitter’. - Female neighbours of childbearing ages can often spend months wearing black and placing objects infront of their stomach. This often prompts some time away, with prison quite likely. - Jobs are easy to come by and you can usually see your workplace from your bedroom window, but it's a simple matter to arrange a week's employment in the Middle East if you need to briefly make yourself scarce while still earning. Also if you are fired, you will be offered your job back within a week, or will work across the road. - If you do happen to work in the 'city' you never go to work and just wonder around carrying a brief case or clip board, without really knowing what you do, and make excuses when you do rarely go, about days off/finishing early, lunch breaks etc before getting sacked and relenting to work in the same space as your neighbours at some point. |

Sometimes children go missing but they are with the glorified baby-sitter whom you never see or hear from, but they appear at the most convenient of times.

Let's not forget, you can go into a salon for a new hairdo and come out with the same hairdo all fresh and tidied.
Customers in said salon you only ever see in said salon. |

Discussing secrets in a pub or the street is they way to go. Dont go talking about them in alleys or secluded areas as someone can hear you, and ultimately blackmail you.
New neighbours are never concerned about the high death and murder ratesin the areas they have just moved into. |

In the case of a major event occuring in which emergency services will need to be called, your phone will miraculously be out of battery and/or the signal is strangely problamatic. Despite this not happening when you took a phone call there three days previously.
Emergency services always take an age to get to the local disaster, due to some unknown incident occuring. |

If your kids/close friends/relatives move away, they never come back to visit and probably wouldn't even come to your funeral.

...or wedding, or to court when you go down for murder. ![]() also when you want to speak on the telephone in secret you will face away from the doorway, so that when someone walks in, you will not notice them, and carry on speaking, revealing all. Or if you are supposed to be looking after a child, you will turn away from them to talk on the phone, so that they can disappear and you can get the blame for said missing child, which everyone in the neighbourhood will go out and look for. Then when the child is found, it will never get told off for being a naughty little brat. |

There is no tabloid press taking a continuing interest in the astonishing concentration of recurring disasters, crimes and scandals that afflict the village/street/square. Any occasional press interest is solely concerned with the immediate disaster/crime/scandal of the moment, and consists of no more than one desultory reporter.
