Fun Answers Please, Before I Pluck Up The Courage To Ask...

[gness]

About three or four times now.....over a couple of months.... the same car with the same driver has parked mostly on the pavement outside my house....

He sits with a clipboard looking around and making notes......copious notes....looking up at the houses....or maybe the sky......

A little walk around.....then back to the car and more notes.....he's now on the phone....

Doesn't appear that he's casing the joint.....if he is he's very thorough.....

Snazzy looking car......well dressed middle aged man......been here about forty five minutes now.....
If he's still here when I've dried the hair and put on the slap and gym gear I might ask...but..

MI5?.......Social whoever it is who checks up on folk?.......Errant husband hiding from angry wife?

Any ideas?......

[sunny-dave]

I have an alibi ... I was washing my gerbil and have a hamster willing to testify to that ...

[gness]

Clever hamster that, Dave....anyway he's gone....just as I am blinged up enough to face the world.....

Next time.....☺

Possible new swingers party pads .!!!!

[emmie]

driving instructor who is quaking at the idea of taking out his young or not so young pupil.

[vulcan42]

He's looking for possible Tupperware agents. :o)

[emmie]

or rabbit salesman, those bunnies get everywhere....

[Metaphysicalus]

He could possibly be a property valuer, or a council official doing a survey. I wouldn't worry about him - if he was up to no-good, he would not be so visible about it.

[eanceoil]

I agree with last poster, could be an agent for zoopla or one of those propery pricing agents.

[gness]

Thank you for your answers.......

I'm not worried, Meta and Ean.....just so curious.....where I live you have to have a purpose to be here and then find it......not just pull in for a break.....and you need to bring some oxygen....You could be right......x

Well he's out of luck with the swinger's pad......honestly......I'd sooner spend the evening with a glass of red and my knitting.....☻

If he's a rabbit salesman it'd be Dave's fault and he'd make him ring the doorbell at silly hour in the morning.....he does that.... :-(

Driving instructor?........big car and no L plates.....though he could have taken them off....no...he looked too calm......nice beard too......♥

Does Tupperware still exist?!......I'd be no good at selling stuff you have to store leftovers in......I rarely have beforeovers let alone leftovers.......:-)

There's a fine line between being nosy and being an observant neighbourhood watch member......I will cross the line next time because I'm nosy..........xxx

Investigator from Benefits Agency checking on your not-so-sick neighbours?

[gness]

Mmmm....I doubt it though, Ginge.......Mr Nextdoor seems to have an unusual job though.....and my car man could pass for Russian....☺

[aelmpvw]

he's probably gathering evidence about the tradesmen he thinks are illegally living in your shed

[Berniecuddles2]

i suppose going to ask him what he is doing...would be the answer?

[Hopkirk]

Perhaps he's lost his job, but hasn't told the wife.

He's just killing time until he can go home.

[gness]

They've moved, Ael....the fence fell on them...... :-(

Mind you if he wants evidence he should just stand outside Dave's house.....I stopped at his house on my way out today to borrow a saw and as I got into my car Dave shouted, for all to hear........"Just drop it off when you've finished with your men this afternoon"..... :-(

[gness]

'Tis what I've said I'll do, Bernie......☺

So......she may divorce him when she finds out then, Hoppy?..
Mmmm.....he's fairly dishy.......☺

Have you tried the subtle approaches -

• circle his car looking for any business related stuff?
• circle his car and try to see what he is doing
• photograph the driver and put on Facebook - "does anyone know this man?"
• get his registration number and go and visit the boys in blue
• my lad dog used to scratch his bottom on cars and set their alarms off - can you borrow a dog?

[gness]

Wolf....couldn't go outside with bed hair and no make-up....you never know....he may be single....

I used the binoculars to try to read the clipboard when he put it on the dash......but couldn't.....
I have taken a photo.....just in case you understand..... ;-)

I'm not too good with dogs.....but I do have my own bottom I suppose....would that work?....☺

[Barmaid]

He is the brother of Joan from the recent holiday fiasco and he is plucking up the courage to tell you of Joan's recent breakdown?

He is a member of the vice squad, who had it reported you had some men to "finish with" and is now checking you out for a house of ill repute?

He's your AB stalker?!

[Georgiesmum]

We had two similar men come round like that recently. One was a wwindow cleaner starting up a new round and the other one was trying to get names for people wanting milk delivered.
