ok gang, just a bit of fun, thats all, sort of trip down memory lane, see if you recognise any of it.
saturday 9 o'clock..late autumn, somewhere in norfolk, 2003.
" are you ready love, we'll miss all the action", "just coming, does my bum look big in this"? she replies from the landing, "i wouldn't worry about it, its not yer arse they'll be looking at"! i smirked. ten minutes later we were on our way. the venue was a popular site, we had read about it in the press, and was intrigued. the butterflies were starting to kick in long before our arrival, we really didn't know what to expect..
we paused in the road, traffic built up behind, whilst we waited for a lull in the oncoming stream. from this vantage point, we could observe a flow of vehicles driving slowly around the venue, it looked busy, very busy. we entered through a small garteway, then bounced and bumped along the grass track. we were attracting interest from small groups of dowdilly attired men, they letched into the window as we passed, stooping to gain a clearer view. individuals showed passing curiosity, some ignored us altogether.
finding a suitable space at the top end of the carpark, we swung in and stopped."this will do us, pass that drink over luv", i said, stretching myself and yawning. " bloody hell, look at them", mrs dirty had spotted six guys running toward us. " they dont look very dignified" i laughed, as they arrived at the rear of our van." are you getting out to talk to them" she asked, "give it a minute pet, i want my drink first" i replied, making my intention to sit it out, obvious to all. they were obviously the veterans, i thought, same routine every weekend no doubt, these guys were serious players, every new vehicle worth investigating, if something was on offer, they were on it first. there was a resentment from the individuals now attending the scene, "dont give anyone else a chance will you" said a burly six footer,"fuck me, you might miss something" he added. the hardcore looked undettered, they had heard it all before, it was water off a duck's back to them, dignity and decorum had deserted them long ago, the stakes were to high for that lark, wasn't their problem if the other muppets were losers.
at that point the door handle went, "pet, someone's trying to get in", yelled mrs dirty, "calm down babe" i laughed, "anyway, the doors locked"! i added, "look, i'll get out"..she looked concearned, "well be carefull, they look like savages" she grunted, "they are waiting for you to get your bits and pieces out, thats all" i remarked, smirking, "well they'll have to wait, i'm not getting anything out while they are behaving like that" was the indignant response. there was a tap at her window, i was already half way out of the vehicle, when i heard a guy shout in her direction, "come on darling, get em out, lets have a look whats on offer, nice pair of jugs i see" he laughed, mrs dirty smiled, embarrassed by the remark.
some guys shuffled in the background, others peered over the shoulders of the guys now pushing and shoving around the vehicle, hands were grabbing at mrs dirty's prized assets, but she was now taking things in her stride. at one point, an offer of 30 quid was made, bit of a money maker, this game, i thought, but mrs dirty refused. "its the best offer you'll get sweetheart" a slim man of about 45 said, before looking in my direction and adding, "what do you say mate, its seen better days".
well, that was the first of many visits to that venue. we are one of the regulars now, our arrival heralded by a cheery wave or thumbs-up. the hardcore know that our offerings are not worthy of their efforts, so now let us pass, unmolested. the new faces get the treatment we once recieved, it sometimes leads to confrontation, more often just passing amusement, bet if there was a website for it, they would get some flack.
what do you mean, if there was a website, whats this? eerm, yeah, but this is a dogging board, yeah, well what are you on about then dirty? a car boot sale, thats all, just our experience of doing a car boot sale. na na nu na na, april fool in february!!!
