It sounds like gooseberry mildrew and that your neighbours are getting all the best bits!
All gooseberries more so an old bush like to have a heavy handed prune, the bush needs to be opened up in the centre (by pruning) to allow air to get in and in turn promote new healthy growth and of course healthy fruit.Hope still helps. If I'ave got it wrong I'm sure someone will put you right.Hel.xxx.
