Council respond as video of man selling mangoes from car boot in Aylesbury goes viral
Footage of a man selling mangoes out of the boot of a black Mercedes in Aylesbury town centre has gone viral on social media – and now Bucks Council has responded.
Video posted on X showed the man selling mangoes from his car boot on Buckingham Street in Aylesbury.
The unidentified man says the ‘Kesar’ mangoes are from India as he converses with the man filming about prices, which are set at £8.99 for a box of small Kesar mangoes and £19 for a box of large ones.
The mango seller says he will be there every Friday and Saturday and some Tuesdays, the day the footage was filmed.
The video has been viewed over 400,000 times on X.
A number of people also tagged in Bucks Council asking if it was aware of the man selling mangoes out of his car boot in Aylesbury town centre. The council’s official X account responded, saying: “Please report this directly to our Licensing Team: [email protected] including any additional information you have so that they can investigate. Thank you.”
The Bucks Herald has since contacted Bucks Council who state nobody has, as yet, reported the mango seller to its licensing team, but that officers are aware of the situation.
"We have not received any reports about this activity through our Environmental Health or Licensing services,” Bucks Council told The Bucks Herald.
"However, our officers have been made aware of the situation, and they will keep a look out when in the area to establish further details and consider any next steps.
“At this stage, it is unclear whether this was a one-off incident or something happening more regularly.”
