Edward Adoo

A man from Amersham says he's had to change his appearance because people thought he was a terrorist. Until 2 months ago John Essien had a beard and carried a ruck sack. But since he started commuting to work by tube, he's had to shave and lose the ruck sack because of the reactions of fellow passengers.
