Reciting religious texts on the corner of Coldharbour Lane and Brixton Road at barely audible levels was this bloke, who decided to take it easy and plonk himself down in a folding chair.
He’d settled himself in next to the info board and got reading out something quietly.
We’re not fans of street preachers who belt out their message at max volume, so this fella gets some respect for us for his restraint, with the master volume not even reaching half way.
Even better, his low output narration wasn’t ‘enhanced’ by the lashings of reverb.
If we really must have street preachers inflicted on us, then we’d like more like this, please.
