Nice to see the Big Issue sellers getting out in the sun....

Graham, I like the idea of setting-up a gallery of genuine local BI sellers. I reckon the tabloids would be keen on that.

Need to see what the mod squad have got to say about it

I'm not 100% sure on that point. You'd think if the bru were going to go after them all the investigation team need do is take a stroll through the town one day, it's not like the vendors are hiding what they are doing

Probably best to leave this sort of shit to the Daily Mail eh? Or Spearhead - whichever is your poison.

Does it affect house prices then?

Locked because, being polite, it will degenerate quickly.

Could also be covered in the faces/strangers thread.

I'm sure there's other aspects of the Big Issue and their work more worthy of a thread.

Anyone else noticed it's mostly foreigners that are selling this now? Particulary up at Sauchiehall Street, the foreign women up there selling it look scarily like the foreign beggars on Argyle Street.

And I have a question - do the Big Issue vendors change their pitch daily? I've been looking for a certain vendor for weeks now!

Merged with the previous instance.

Crusty's action will be duplicated if it starts getting dodgy.
