Bill

For a few days every month Bill sells The Big Issue * on the corner of Foveaux and Elizabeth Streets, Surry Hills. He's the only Big Issue vendor I have seen with such an eye-catching display. December is a pretty special month for Bill and his lion mate, who always accompanies him.
I like Bill very much. He's always got a kind word for everyone and I've never seen anyone happier in his work.
Here's the card he was giving out:


*The Big Issue is a fortnightly current affairs and entertainment magazine that is sold on the streets of towns and cities throughout Australia by people experiencing homelessness or long-term unemployment. Vendors keep half of the cover price ($4) of every magazine they sell.

  3. bien vu, les SDF c'est un sujet tres important, surtout en ce moment en France (ou il fait tres froid) où les hommes (ou femmes) poliques decident enfin d'en parler et faire des propositions.
