The Evening Standard is becoming a free paper, presumably one of the many that get thrust at you as you walk through London these days. I did see someone making use of one the other week though: it was raining on the way to the Barbican and they were using it to keep their head dry...
Imagine being a newspaper seller for years, and being used to standing at your pitch, and then losing that attachment to the place where you have been, observing the changing world...
An audio slideshow, but with some pictures is available to view on the BBC news website.
Which other jobs have this same "place attachment" and longevity ?
Teaching could be one of these I suppose... teachers get very "attached" to their rooms...
