Andy, 28, from Scotland, used to have his own taxi business.

When he lost it, he

also lost his home and his family. He now sleeps on the streets in London. The Big
Issue is a magazine sold by homeless people in Britain. This gives them a small
income, so they can begin to find somewhere to live. He has been sleeping on the
streets for a year. It was very cold at first, but he gets used to it. He came to
London to look for work, and he never left. Andy has been selling The Big Issue for
six months. He is in Covent Garden seven days a week selling the magazine. He
has been made a lot of friends. But he can't stand people who think he drinks or
take drugs. His problem is he is homeless. He wants a job, but he needs
somewhere to live before he can get a job. So he needs money to get somewhere
to live.
