The Dog

Today i met my friend Kate for Coffee at Pret. As I walked to the coffee shop the Big Issue seller spoke to me said I looked lovely, they know I cannot buy the reason is this

1) Back in 2000 i regularly brought the Big Issue
2) In 2001 the Big issue seller in Swindon told me how hard it was on the streets with the level of abuse he received
3) I offered him a job
4) The job centre trained him to use a fork lift truck
5) He never turned up for his first day at work

Therefore i cannot buy a big issue, but i can buy a big cup of hot tea and a nice choccy cake.

I met friend Kate when i was walking my wayward toddlers and she was walking her very well behaved dogs. As I brought my goods i said to the girl serving me the tea is for the big issue sellar wait for my friend she will come in and just be concerned for the dog. In came Kate have you seen the dog with the big issue seller...

PS he loved the tea and cake and the dog looks happy too. Kate told me
