Big Issue..

I'm honoured. I went to the supermarket today and he was there. I took steffs advice and said hello mate to the guy and he was very friendly. Starting talking to him and he told me he was living in a local hostel and having to sell the big issue to make ends meet. I spoke to him for about 10 minutes and he seemed a decent guy. Told me he was looking for work all the time so I gave him the number for William Hill recruitment (free phone) and wished him good luck. Bought a big issue and told him to keep the fiver.

So, it turns out I was prejudiced against this guy purely and simply cos he was foreign. I can't deny this and have genuinely learnt something from this.

I, again genuinely, wish to apologise to anyone I have offended in this thread or beyond. Immigration is still something that's out of control in this country and maybe cos I work in a bookies all day long my view has been distorted in that I'm stereotyping all foreigners that simply claim benefits - something that in my line of work I do see all day long.

Reading the OP again yeah I came across as a bellend and I'm not looking for sympathy just wanna say sorry nothing more.

KingDawson I know we said we would ignore each other but ffs were both on here a lot and I don't really want that so all I'll say to you is that even though are views on whether black ppl are discrimated against in employment or not differ I don't hate or think any less of black ppl - something which my black mates in many parts of my life would simply laugh at the thought.

Cheers guys (and ta steff)

I'm impressed Roy, takes a lot both to do and to admit.

I'm a little concerned that the forum's done some good after the 8 or 9 years I've been running it. Think it's probably time to shut down now!

Walked past the guy today selling the big issue - TWICE - HE DIDNT fudgeIN REMEMBER ME BUYING ONE OFF HIM YESTERDAY.

Walked in an out of tesco on Baker Street AND HE ASKED ME TWICE. I told him the first time round I brought one off you yesterday he was like oh oh sorry. the second time I told him you just asked me dude and i told you I had brought one off of you.

Tpday we had two big issue sellers. The new guy took the old guys patch and now the guy I brought one off yesterday moved to a patch next to Tesco - I guess he thought there would be more chance.

Im now confused whether this big Issue guy was drunk, high, coked up or merely suffering from amnesia.
