Dunstable · The handsome heart-throb

Meet Nick

A handsome smile and charm by the bucketful — Nick leaves sparkling windows and a few fluttering hearts behind him.

Nick brings his good looks, cheeky humour and unmistakable charm to Dunstable, Markyate and the villages around. In the diary, all the ladies love him — whether it's that handsome smile or his knack for making everyone laugh. He takes the teasing in his stride, but never lets a little admiration distract him from leaving the windows spotless.

Fun fact: Always has a lunchtime banana somewhere on the van.

Sagittarius

Fire · The archer

Traditionally associated with optimism, adventure, directness and a generous sense of humour.

That adventurous streak suits diary Nick: he'll follow a runaway tablecloth or help a ghost finish his round without losing his calm. His straight-talking one-liners hide a soft spot for anyone having a difficult day. The Sagittarius lesson for him? Sometimes the best adventure is slowing down and listening.

A playful reading of traditional astrology, not a scientific personality assessment.

The dream

Build a team known as much for looking after people as for spotless windows — then take a leisurely road trip around Britain, collecting good views, good stories and absolutely no emergency jelly rescues.

Nick's diary picks

Funny, a little dark, and always a good ending — picked to suit Nick's diary personality.

The funny one

The Harpenden Heart-throb with a Squeegee

Diary Nick's pick for laughing at himself: a routine round becomes a matchmaking muddle. Big muscles are no defence against a heart-shaped balloon and a street full of mischief.

The darker one

The Ghost Who Left No Streaks

A disappearing reflection and a Victorian ballroom are unsettling enough — but Edwin's unfinished round turns the chills into something kind. Nick would rate a ghost who checks the corners.
