Story
Paul Saxton began work from a family newspaper stall after Jim, his father, retired in 1977. For 43 years, Paul has sold daily papers to the Crouch End community - seven days a week and in all weathers. A goodbye gift on his retirement seems fitting.
The film director, Tal Amiran has made an award winning video about Paul's morning routine: See:
