The message
from (Sally Thompson) contains
these words:

However, we have the misfortune to have acquired an extremely odd
neighbour who refuses to talk to anyone (especially us)

Odd for being quiet and shy? We have a silent neighbour who avoids
social contact. She's completely deaf and can't sign, or lipread
strangers; she's also very proud and independent.

By the way,
there is absolutely NO way we can discuss this with him - a polite and
friendly good morning is met with a turned back,

Deafness, devastating stammer, mental illness?

Janet.
