Mr Pete Daymond

Outward appearance

Trim man in his 30s, blue jeans, white trainers, thinning blonde hair. Two plastic bags full of something square-cornered. Eyes keep looking up.

Inside information

Poster sticker, some time dope dealer. Returning from work, pasting girls' cards in phone booths.

What he is doing or thinking

He's scared and knackered. He hates putting up the cards. You do five or six girls at a time. You have to leave the bag outside the booth, put in your money in and phone home. While it's really ringing, you paste the cards, receiver under your chin. Just in case someone checks you're making a call.

You work from 6.30 to 8.30 am. There's enough people around in case of aggro, but not so many that they get a good look at what you're doing.

There's rival groups, and some of them are not very nice people. They don't particularly like it if you paste in what they think is their turf. But you've got to post where the punters are. Kings Cross, Tottenham Court Road, all round there.

Pete's sure he was followed into the tube. At first, he thought it was passenger 151. Then he saw the state of it. Bet he could use some dosh. Subcontracting would be good for my health.

"You looking for some work, mate?" Pete asks.

"I'm an Internet trainer," the man says, grandly. Well maybe.

"This is part time, just mornings." The man's eyebrows rise. "Where you getting off?" Pete asks.

He shrugs. "The Elephant, I suppose." Going nowhere.

They get off at Lambeth instead.
