Beware, Rant Ahead

dotintheskyWe ended up not going to that fancy shmancy coffee shop. Instead, we went to... Starbucks! Oh Uh... I know someone who is not going to be happy with me! But really, it is right beside the supermarket, in between the car park and the canal.
You say: perfect location! You can see the sky, the geese, the people who live on boats because they can't afford housing in London.
I say: manager, turn up the Chet Baker! And get the dirty pensioner with the empty trolley out fo here! She's killing the mood!
Then, to add to the horror, Kevin and I dressed in identical outfits and brought our journals with us. We sat there, writing while drinking our Latte (for myself) and Hot Chocolate (for him) while a couple of hags with bad hair-dye jobs looked at us. They must have thought they were looking at the next Judith Krantz and Sidney Sheldon... when in fact they were looking at us looking at them looking at the car park and thinking:
When was I ever in a Starbucks not beside a car park? Never.
Thus, never going back. Can't stand the fumes. In a perfect society, all households would be allowed only one car. I don't care if mother has to go to the gym and father has to go to work. Figure something out. Buy a bike. Just don't cluster our space anymore with these monstrosities...
