I was in John Lewis a while back, I had been dragged around Oxford street with a hangover all morning and the heating had turned the atmosphere in there Saharan. Upon the brink of death I dragged myself up to the canteen counter, all cracked lips and croaky voice, and rasped, ?May I please have a bottle of water??


?Certainly sir.? Said the young lady as she shooed away a circling vulture, ?That will be ?2.50 please.?

is it just me - but when you've paid ?4.30 for popcorn, I'm actually surprised that the bottle of water wasn't more expensive? about what, 200% mark up on the water, at least 1000% on the popcorn surely...

    • Not sure about that - I'm personally not too bothered by the noise, despite living possibly the closest to the site. I am bothered by the impact on all the wildlife, as should hopefully everyone with a conscience and who care about their community?
    • Their coffee and food is delicious. Really nicely decorated cafe with a nice vibe and a great selection of books too. The owner and staff are all very friendly and happy to chat when preparing your order.
    • The venn diagram of people who are personally really bothered by the noise from GALA and are also deeply concerned about the local bat population looks remarkably just like a circle.
    • Language is a fluid and evolving thing and as it changes the original meaning of words can alter to take on a new true meaning or meanings. Original meaning is not the same as true meaning. Take the word literal which is now used to mean the very opposite of how the word used to be used, irritating for some of us but demonstrates the English language is vibrant and alive and also very subjective. But I must go and make myself a cup of tea now or I will literally die of thirst
