Recently homeless - she's been a fixture for at least 3 years.
If someone is really that destitute then a mobile phone (of any description) is not something that she needs to advertise.
Perfectly entitled to life's little luxuries?
Many of these Big Issue sellers set up outside premium stores knowing that they can coax £20+ per hour from generous, largely middle aged / retired folks who prefer quality food items and a less stressful experience than shopping at the major stores.
Would like to view the CCTV to see if she gets into her car at the end of a shift.
