What ID to take canvassing after midnight?
« on: December 16, 2016, 10:28:14 pm »
I do a fair bit of canvassing and find that between midnight and 4 a.m. there is usually someone at home to offer my window cleaning service to. (I use a decent professional head torch so as to send out the right image of course.)

But occasionally the Police seem to turn up and ask me what I'm up to and despite my reasonable explanation they take me off to the slammer.

I wonder what convincing I.D. I might carry to prove I am a legitimate person going about my business?
It's a game of three halves!

I normally take a nail bar and a large screwdriver. You wouldn't believe the amount of add on jobs I get helping people get into their cars when they've forgotten their keys.

It's not about I.D. more your posture - flounce in flounce out - everyone would take you seriously then

It's probably best if you take Daz's details with you..... after all the custards, the police and everyone else is in awe of the "window cleaning/drumming/bodybuilding God" that is......THE DAZZER.....

You cannot fail to quadruple your round every 2 hours, and even get the plod knocking the doors to wake up the custards just before you get there, hence saving your knuckles...
Everyday this forum slips further from God.  :'(

I like to dress for the occasion. During canvassing sessions earlier in the day smart casual usually does the trick but I have found that a balaclava, dark clothing and leather gloves are essential to success while prising sorry knocking doors at this hour  :P

Also a pair of scissors are handy for when things turn nasty  ;D

Hector,

I think this is great

I live in my own world but it’s okay. They know me there.


There's a few more joining our world I see.  ;D

this must be a wind up,     i used to do some high street shops around 5am,    but never needed to use a head torch.      surelly you dont lean residential properties after midnight

No.
Anything up to midnight is ok but not after.
Surely we earn  enough up to 23.59 hours the rest of the year to compensate for that lull in the market.

Well surelly he wont be knocking on doors,     Flyer canvassing maybe,    still creepy.    Just wait till a drunk comes home and thinks you have been messing around his property atfter midnight

Silly going canvassing if you don’t knock on doors.
