I NOTICE the recent expose on the gag mag sellers hasn’t had the desired effect of moving them on as they seem to have returned to their old ways and old tricks.

Having watched and listened to the one who usually stands in King’s Square and sometimes on Petergate and near the Minster I was again appalled by this guy’s cheek and manner as he approached a group of mature ladies.

He called them “young lasses” and pretended to be interested in where they were from when all along the only thing he was interested in was getting their cash off them.

They all seem to have the same old patter and it’s all pretence. York now has these and others plying their trade and it’s disgusting to have to witness especially when these people approach older people who often may be intimidated. Can’t York finally send these men packing?
