Big Issue... Big Issue...

There is a foreign woman who sells the Big Issue here with an accent, it sounds like she's saying "Big Tissues, Big Tissues". :p

SEND HER BACK! :mad:

I have been dying to say that. :p

As for the Big Issue, I have read several of them but found it full of boring articles and left wing propoganda. Most of the sellers seem to treat it as a career rather than a stop gap. What as sad indictment of one of the richest countries on the planet. :(
 
I like it when you get two big issue sellers fighting over the good places to sell on. Seems to happen quite a bit arround here, never seen it anywhere else.

I've been looking for them to go with my Big Jazmag.
 
The ones here in Belfast are invariably foreign, and thats this one woman who seemingly follows you about, shes always around the next corner, waiting to scream:

"Beeegg Iiiisssssssuuuuu peeeees?"

....at every passer-by. To top it off at the end of the day you see her coming out of Marks & Spencers with several shopping bags. :(
 
You need to come to Norwich :p
We've got a new one next to our carpark (Tesco Metro), who seems to think she can sing :eek:
Awful racket, almost wants to make you pay to shut her up.

I bet you pay her for her other services.

If I've already bought a copy or simply don't want to I either mouth or simply say "No Thanks".
That is it, end of conversation.
Occasionally they might respond with a "Have a good day" or similar - but they certainly don't give you evil looks or hound you if you don't purchase.

Same here tbh. Never had a problem with them, they're perfectly pleasant.

Round here they're only allowed to sell from pre-designated sites, which are marked out by the Big Issue logo painted on the ground.....
 
What is wrong with a homeless person selling the big issue so he/she can eat? I hope none of you ever end up homeless :rolleyes:

Would you prefer begging, walking through the tube with a child in tow (and then you notice they have more expensive trainers than you :eek: )?
