Jimmy Riley attracts attention wherever he goes. It’s not just because he
is a six foot two inch rastaman who usually wears mirror shades and a cowboy
hat. It’s
because of the way he actively engages with the world around him. As he walks
down the street, he is constantly chatting to passersby, joking with the
children and
flirting with the women. Now we are taking a train ride together to
London’s Gatwick airport, and over the course of the journey Jimmy is telling
me his life story. As
the train pulls out of the station, he settles back in his seat to talk, whilst
our fellow travellers listen in with interest.
