The Big Issue

[Big Jeff]

Walked past a lass today selling the big issue. I had a couple of coins in my pocket and thought she needs this more than me. So I went back and asked how much it was - £4!

Its been a while since I bought one but 4 quid was a surprise.

Who plays you in the movie?

We are all waiting, did you buy one, or said no thanks?

I bought one and gave it to my dad.

 

[Dogbark]

A certain irony I suppose in not being able to afford a copy of the Big Issue.

What did you do next?

Say you have the £2 anyway and I don't need the magazine for it?

Or stomp off tutting about inflation and cost of living?

I just gave her the four quid, smiled sweetly and walked away fuming and gave it to me dad complaining as I did so.

Ripe for diversity in this age of the dying printed format

They could upsell. Maybe a range of tea towels and man-size handkerchiefs (big tissues - wheyyyyy)

Which leads me onto another point. Can you still get man-size tissues or did equality kill them off ?

 

[HABA87]

It's £4 for a programme at the match.

Magazines that were around £3 for years are now £7 at the last check, probably more.

 

[Space Hopper]

Some homeless bloke got overly angry with me when I said I'd never heard of the magazine he was selling.

I don’t know what the big issue was.

Charged hid dad a fiver for it

 

[Big Jeff]

Charged hid dad a fiver for it

And my petrol money too.

Chris Smalling, Tammy Abraham and their mates?

Absolutely pointless process and so far away from original purpose.

Indeed . They have new smartphones and expensive trainers .

Ran like a business with a few henchman

 

[MackemBob]

Knock knock,
Who’s there?
Biggish?
Biggish who?
No thanks, not at £4 a pop anyway.

 

[Shambo]

Magazines are now more expensive than paperback books

 

[Waverley]

The weekend edition of the FT is £5.10. Had to get one for a customer the other week. It's not even like the big Sunday titles that weigh a ton.

Big jeff to play him, you to play the seller.

Hopefully the filming of it takes f***ing months.
