boarcity

ever heard that expression, ? Dot n dab

its new to me, i came across a windie and his sidekick and he said to me "im doin a bit of dot n dab , are you doin the same?"

i dunno what you mean

"dot n dab, surely you know what i mean ?"

no, never heard of it ,whats it mean ?

"dot n dab , its where you go to work ,do 1 or 2 houses and then go home again "

seems hes a dot n dab merchant . i then told him we are in town all day doin a load of houses then goin home. he insisted on shakin my hand then said "i really want to be like you ,organized , ,,,, can i stand and watch you "

at that point i pretended id got to nip round the back of a house to ask my helpers summat . "no problem, i will wait here for you... so i can watch "

happy days!!

 
Dot n dab is a plastering term but never heard about it in window cleaning. Sounds like a bit of a newb wanting to watch you.

 
I thought it meant dot applicator on dirt spot and dab microfibre on it instead of cleaning properly

 
Was that in Felixstowe?

I see a windy out side cardinal court a few weeks back. there hose was knee high along the path, so I had to step over them as there was 2.....I was not working just visiting a old customer, and mentioned it to them, they said they will sort in a minute, I got around the corner and heard them slag me off haha....I should have took a photo and threatened the bistards.

yes ginger! and theyv a secondary plain van

this bunch they never used to return my wave as our vans passed over the yrs - then one day they needed me ,wanted me - then afterwards they started waving like i was an old chum!

but id not forgotten the lack of waving -so i gave them very helpful [but false] information

i later found out the main man was/is a drugdealer

No way!!!. lol

one of my ex employees was on the fringes of the local drugs scene . he would occasionally impart gossip . such as the shifty kebab shop owner [old boy ] is The mr.cocaine man in the town . That suddenly made sense cos id seen his employees ducking in and out of the hotel carpark nearby quite often as i drove past /looked odd but i suppose were retreiving or hiding "the stash"

im trying to remember what he told me the secret code word was if you went in the shop you didnt ask for cocaine if you did theyd blank you out. it wasnt "large donner " either , it Was a phrase but i cant remember it now.
