LISBON STREET TRADER 1

At one time, only a few years ago, I thought these people were a dying race

They peddled their wares from bootlaces, to ice-cream, to document plastification.

I imagined that when they were gone that would be the end.

But, no, there is a new breed taking to the streets, where they don't have to pay the horrendous overheads of owning a shop and where they can just pocket their earnings without interference from the tax man.

These people are actually street-smart businessmen/women.

I think I may join them.
