SIDEWALK SIDESHOW - No vending

Vendor1: We are so blessed to have the opportunity to earn our livelihoods on the sidewalk without interference.


Vendor2: I KNOW..What are you on about?


Vendor1: This morning's newsport says the mayor does not allow vending in ST James?


Vendor2: You lost me completely. First of all. What is St James?


Vendor1: YOU ARE TELLING ME, YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD OF ST JAMES?


VENDOR2: Never! Is it a forest?


VENDOR1: NO! SILLY! It's a sidewalk in Spain.


VENDOR: And you expected me to know that?


VENDOR1: You never know when a little general knowledge....


Vendor2: WHATEVER!


VENDOR1: No need to be rude. I am only trying to educate you


VENDOR2: (sings) teachers, leave them kids alone

Vendor1: Well, you are not a kid. In fact you are a GRAND MOTHER


VENDOR2:(quickly scans the sidewalk for anyone in earshot)No need for a blow beneath the belt.

tell me more about St James



VENDOR1: Both consumers and vendors were preparing for and looking forward to the weekend sale.

But the mayor gave strict orders for all vendors to be kicked off the side-walk


VENDOR2: OUCH!That is pure evil!


VENDOR1: I feel for the poor vendors, especially those who have to take care of their families themselves.


VENDOR2: Thank God we have a nice mayor. SO what's the latest? Any developmen?


Vendor1: Yes. The headlines on the radio says vendors who refused to obey the initial instructions, were warned by the police to leave immediately or face confiscation of goods or even arrests


Vendor2: Were any of the vendors granted exemptions? For instance, pensioners or those who who have been vending on the sidewalk for decades.


Vendor1: NOT EVEN ONE! It's a shame, I know.


Vendor2: No, it's a disgrace. reminds me of beauty and the beast


VENDOR1: Some of them are still brave enough to disobey the orders and stay so they can sell to their loyal customers.



Vendor2: With so many vendors unable to sell anything to make make money, it is definitely certain that we will now have a proportionate increase in knife crime, burglaries, mugging and terrorism


VENDOR1: Really!
