Yesterday we were resurfacing somebody's driveway, adjacent to a fairly busy street.
All of a sudden a car goes by and some LOUT shouts out of the sunroof "Rogue Traders!"
The cheek of it! We're a 34 yr old company with large premises and all the equipment - I took umbrage to it all and promptly gave him/her the bird and carried on in my work.
I'm glad I've got that off my chest.

We're actually not that bad, compared to some for looking covered in tar!

well basically when you have done all your money in the pub and bookies ,"nipper patrol" is when you go round outside foodshops looking for long fag ends,dog butts whatever to make roll ups with
bus stops were also a favourite haunt for nipper patrol.
sad but true
