Hi there,


So I've been told to work from home for the foreseeable due to this corona thing. I'm quite pleased with this as I can sleep more and get away with doing less work, but need some tips on places in the area to work from when I get cabin fever. Ideally looking for somewhere that:


Does not have groups of middle aged 'ladies wot lunch', whiling away their lunchtimes spending their wealthy banker husbands money, discussing their next imminent fancy holiday.


Does not have lots of toddlers, prams or buggies clogging up the whole place. Ditto children making noise.


Has cheap yet fairly decent coffee. Bottomless top ups a bonus.


Friendly staff I can chat to that are easy on the eye and can hold a conversation, for when I get bored of my work


Can offer booze as well, for a mid afternoon tipple.


Any tips much appreciated.

I am assuming you are working from home because everyone at your work is, not because you have any symptoms or have recently returned from a high incident area? Do remember you are taking up space which does need to be paid for, especially if you are using WiFi or charging your phone or laptop - 'bottomless cups of coffee' may be exploiting your host.

Well don?t you sound like an absolute treasure.

What an asset to the local daytime community.

Working from your own home sounds like the best way forward for you and, indeed, for everyone else, especially cafe staff who don?t fancy being leered at and having to entertain your drivel when you get bored of table blocking.

    • The BBC is one of the finest, if not the finest, broadcasters in the world.  They have been admired by many across the world for their journalism.  There have been numerous arrests since their recent expose on convenience shops that cover ups for criminals - money laundering, contraband,  illegal workers and the like. By no means perfect and some of what they have done in the modern world is questionable - the website often comes across as tabloid or sensationalist, as do some of their documentaries, and at times it is full of low grade game shows, fly on the wall etc which bring the punters and money, including overseas, in but is not quality TV.  In their desperation for 'balance' they've given too much air time and credibility to some more extreme views, which contributed to Brexit and some of the rise in right wing parties.  I wish they'd say 'the convicted criminal' every time they talk about Yaxley Lenon. The programme was clumsy, why it didn't go through proper clearance including the lawyers, I don't know.  But it created zero stir at the time. Zero.  And had no impact on the election, so Trump has no case.  I hope they don't cave in like many of the US corporations and media.  Oh and well done to South Park using the small p*nis defence in ridiculing him. What I expect is as the Beeb is pretty centrist in it;s reporting in riles some of those who thrive on the toxic populism we have seen since Trump mark 1 and Brexit.  How sad.
