I was back in Spicer and Cole this lunchtime having a lunch catch up with a friend Sheena. After the last few days it seemed almost like it was a normal day just to stop and have a gossip. The food here is delicious, this frittata with all the salad trimmings was most welcome. It was good to have a catch up but the café was absolutely packed, mostly with students using the free wi-fi but not buying anything. There's a sign on the wall saying something like 'no laptops to be used over lunch'. I counted at least six tables being used by laptop users. Occasionally a member of staff would speak to them and the student would pop off and buy the cheapest coffee, while other people newly arrived stood about like vultures trying to secure the first vacant table. Apparently there's a cost of living crisis happening in Britain. There must be as every café and restaurant is packed with people and there's nowhere to sit.
