Hi neighbours, here's one to pull on the heart strings...

Teenage sweethearts who rekindled their romance after more than 50 years – and nearly 20,000 kilometres apart – are still waiting to reunite thanks to Covid-19.

Jock Anderson, 74, and Elizabeth Robertson, 73, were teenage sweethearts after attending Macandrew Intermediate School in Dunedin together in the 1960s.

The pair reignited their spark in 2019 after half a century apart when Anderson travelled to Scotland for a holiday and got in touch with Robertson, who moved there in 1972.

“As soon as I saw her, I knew the spark was still there,” Anderson said.

Their romantic story has been featured on The Times and BBC in the UK.

It says anyone who hasn't logged into the site for 4 months will receive email claiming that your account will be removed if you don't verify the email. I've definitely logged in at least a couple of times weekly. There are tiny formatting differences between these 2 emails and legit ones from Neighbourly, so I'm suspicious.
