Don’t be a sinner…

A London icon has gone a-roving. The ‘Don’t be a sinner - be a winner!’ man-with-a-megaphone in Piccadilly Circus has been photographed in warmer climes (Sydney, apparently).

He’s certainly achieved local celebrity status, and I find it strangely comforting that this photo has been sent around in such quantity.

And, for those that don’t feel like waiting until his return to be inspired, you can buy the t-shirt. The profits go to charity, as well.

    Cooool. I remember this chap from whenever I went to Oxford Street for a spot of retail therapy. I seem to remember him on Oxford Circus. I always thought his line in redemption was very catchy. I wonder how many souls he’s saved with his catchphrase. And he never wore a coat either, not that that has anything to do with it, just thought I’d bring it up.

    I can’t seem to find anyones contact info on your site…so I’ll just ask here. Could you guys give a shout to overheardintheuk.com? Most of the contributions come from Londoners, so your readers may be interested.

    Thanks!
