You present an interesting dilemma. Each of
you seemingly has a legitimate claim to the bicycle, and yet the bicycle can
have only one rightful owner. Quite the conundrum. As a federal employee, I
believe the law is all we have. It's all that separates us from the savages who
don't deserve even the privilege of the daily mail. Stuffing parcels into
mailboxes where they don't belong!

I love coffee as you know, so the other day
while in Spitalfields market couldn’t resist getting a couple macchiatos.
First stop: Department of Coffee & SocialAffairs
A nice place in one of the corners of the
new market. Quite simple and neat place, plenty of seating outside to watch the
action in the market.

Lovely coffee, nice acidity, some fruity
notes, good balance with mild bitterness, medium body, and short aftertaste.
Latte art top marks.
