There was a fairly pretentious little café down the road from me, which went out of business about two years after one of those evil tax evadin' multinationals opened up a few doors away.
The shop stood empty for a year or so, and proudly re-opened as another pretentious little café last Tuesday. I like going into new shops on their first day, firstly out of nosiness and secondly to show a bit of support for the little guy, so I sauntered in after work (about 6.15 pm).
"Is this your first day?" I asked the man behind the counter?
"Yes." he replied.
"Great, can I have a cappuccino to drink in, please?"
"No, we're shut."
So I marched straight out, probably never to be seen there again. On my way home I passed the evil tax evadin' etc. café, which of course stays open until 6.30 pm.
