Title: Coffee Shops Mystery
Post by: Nick on June 09, 2013, 01:00:52 PM
They are everywhere in London  rubschin:

Leaving my flat I can go to the Serbians, or the Portuguese, the Italians, the French, the French again or the Poles. All in 100 yards.

If I turn left instead I have a choice of 6 more. rubschin:

How the feck do they all survive? Every time I go into one I am the only customer.

Are they all a front for summat else, like?

Putney High Street yesterday, well, I lost count.

It's a mystery I tells ya

Basingstoke is teeming with them, see also nail salons, there's at least six of them, hairdressers/barbers, at least eight of them... then the phone shops  rubschin:  As Boogs said, there's supposedly no money around  noooo: Gotta be a front for summat else

There is definitely money around.  When McDees and coffee shops start having "hiring" signs (and they do) it's a sure sign of an upturn
