Went up to Cambridge for a few days to see my son, the wife and me were waiting in town and got chatting to a young English guy around 35 years of age selling copies of the Big Issue.
What a cracking bloke he was telling us one joke after another, he asked if we had heard of the Brexit Christmas Dinner, no Brussels, no Turkey and no place at the table. :rollin
Yep hilarious. I hope you bought a copy after all that free entertainment?

yep I did and i gave him a fiver, he told me they pay £1 each for them and sell them for the marked price of £2-50.
He said sometimes he only sells 10 or 11 a day, not a lot of money for possibly standing out in the pissing rain all day is it? :'(
