We would always buy one when shopping at <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhaize_Group" REL="nofollow">Delhaize</A>. And then one day, the smilling Chinese guy who used to greet everybody with a smile while selling his newspaper disappeared. He found a job. :)• Eliane •https://www.blogger.com/profile/17535070160739138725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985967364172372580.post-28624396560366628142008-09-17T17:48:00.000+01:002008-09-17T17:48:00.000+01:00wow..I had no idea....it must work if it is so pop...wow..I had no idea....it must work if it is so popular...Love the dog....Nevahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04601316661181297640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985967364172372580.post-56941886960598671522008-09-17T06:20:00.000+01:002008-09-17T06:20:00.000+01:00Poor doggie!

I love that too.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985967364172372580.post-23764562735289184702008-09-16T09:05:00.000+01:002008-09-16T09:05:00.000+01:00£1.50 now - oops - that shows how long ago it is s...£1.50 now - oops - that shows how long ago it is since I bought one - used to be £1 - ok - consciounce (typo) pricked.Gerald (Ackworth born)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10972748175799683560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985967364172372580.post-6822501859446897692008-09-16T08:02:00.000+01:002008-09-16T08:02:00.000+01:00excellent enterprise for assisting the homeless!excellent enterprise for assisting the homeless!magiceyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17848851692951192508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985967364172372580.post-90759168903393058452008-09-16T05:15:00.000+01:002008-09-16T05:15:00.000+01:00Love the sleeping dog. sound advise, let him lie....Love the sleeping dog. sound advise, let him lie.

I should keep my eyes open for a copy here. Metro Manila has a lot of 'informal' street vendors, most of whom live in squatters' areas. They sell everything from candies and snacks to cigarettes and newspapers.Hildahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572824685124656116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3985967364172372580.post-44746016436722796282008-09-16T01:09:00.000+01:002008-09-16T01:09:00.000+01:00What a wonderful idea.

I didn't know about it when I arrived in the UK but now I know the philosophy behind it and have read it, I encourage everyone, visitors and locals to buy it. Thanks Marley for introducing it to everyone. Anything and everything that helps one's self esteem is a plus in my view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
