bitful

Parts one, two, three, four and five.

Yesterday morning: Burger King, Charing Cross station. £1.09 for a 12oz cup of what is basically Nescafé with a dash of hot water - for the price of a jar of coffee powder.

Yesterday lunchtime: Carluccio's, Neal St, Covent Garden. I had no choice but to try it after hearing so much praise about it, and… yes, very smooth, and the colours and smells in the shop (and the staff's smiles) are vibrant and are undoubtedly part of the customer experience. You do feel special.

However, by the time I (guiltily) walked past my regular Nero on the way back to work, I'd already gulped it down (largest size is a meagre 12oz, for £1.60) almost without noticing it. In fact, the blend felt so smooth that I had to stop at the newly opened 24-hour Tesco (formerly Europa Foods) in Trafalgar Square to get myself half a litre of chilled vanilla diet coke to keep my eyes open through a tedious afternoon.
