BIG ISSUE

Bond, James Bond

This is Andy from Blurton, Stoke-on-Trent. He is Hanley's residential 'Big Issue' seller come singer come dancer come all round entertainer. Ever since i can remember i have always enjoyed Andy's antics, many a time he's brightened up my saturday mornings between my mum dragging me from Marks and Spencers to Bhs. What i didn't realise is that these 'Big Issue' sellers have to travel to Manchester every week and buy stacks of the 'Big Issue' out of their own pockets and basically, hope they sell. Andy has been selling the 'Big Issue' in Hanley for around 15 years he reminises and the photo below just shows the kind of rapport he has with the people of Stoke-on-Trent. Although he has to shout "BIG ISSUE" if anybody ever declines they always receive a "thank you, have a good day, (Merry christmas)". He's gentleman and all round nice man.

Typical reaction from shoppers around Hanley

Hanley's got talent


"Big Issue, No Problem, Merry Christmas"
