Hullo Sammy
	Sammy moved to Hull about a year ago after meeting Arthur at a car boot sale in London. They are firm friends and enjoy whiling away a few hours of the day watching the world go by, hoping they might raise a smile from the passing crowds. I met them in the city centre

Sammy likes it in Hull and is getting to know about life round and about (checkout his titfer - 3 for a quid in Brid). Arthur added "We enjoy putting a smile on people's faces - but some people just walk by looking miserable". Well, Sammy and Arthur - you put a smile on my face today! Greg Author.
