Not all day, but a good few hours - maybe 11 til 3 / 4.


And it has to be work of the less numbers-oriented type - as the day wears on, the emails become more flamboyant and the adjectives flow like so many tears into red wine. I like it.

Don't forget Obama had a beer for Breakfast at the G7

(apparently a german traditional breakfast).


And if he can ....

The sad hipster claims he was running a business

typing stories. I'm sure he's made it all up.

I remember years ago when this was hailed as the new way to work, better than paying for an office or a hot desk. This IS a hot desk (especially if you spill your coffee lol, sorry).


It's good that there are more places offering free wi-fi these days, which helps businessmen/women on a budget and it gets you out of the house where you can meet others.

Why would you even want to spend your money on crap coffee in one of these over priced mass produced coffee shops anyway - find a nice independent coffee shop that would value your custom much better anyway. Im not disagreing with you or agreing - just stating that the coffee in these MASS branded places is crap and chucked at you at a pace that is disturbing - I suggest you find a nice little coffee house that will take you in and serve you much better coffee.
bubble... you need to understand that a cup of artisanal flat white made with beans from a single estate is not the top priority here. And while perhaps a small independent coffee shop might appreciate the custom outside of peak hours, there's also a danger that by you'd be taking up valuable space and hurting their business.

Free wifi is the norm now and has been for years. How does it help people on a budget if you need to buy something to drink and eat possibly before sitting down. Most people have wifi at home.


I found I spent more by going out to use cafes than I would by staying home. How could it be otherwise?

Like I said once - the Guy I saw interviewing in

Starbucks very smartly grabbed an empty cup with

a lid and placed it in front of him.


A professional :)

I can't see laptop squatters kicking your door down to sign up rbarton when they can pay about ?2.85 for a grande and have a bum on a seat, free wi-fi and free electricity for several hours.

I have tried to work in coffee shops all over our local area over the years, you will be surprised how hard it can be to get some work done in this type of environment. I am confident that desk rentals and coworking offices as whole will help relive some of the highly demanded seats at Cafe Nero SE22.

I'd have said it would be a 'change of environment' for a few hours

when doing something rather easy maybe ?


Co-working does seem to be popular - wonder what type of company/

individual most use them.

    • Apparently there was a motorcade on Lordship lane about 40 mins ago. Did anyone see it? Two blacked out 4X4, with police convoy. I'm intrigued...
    • Harrow.  I wish that I had done more before Covid, including putting my name forward as an executor and seeking power of attorney.  I performed the latter for my later mother, and with no executor named in her will I did probate and executed her will, all very straightforward as financial affairs all in order particularly due to the work of my sister who managed our mother's accounts. But from 2020 onward it was difficult to tell someone who was very frail she needed to change her will etc. There's a further tail about the 'friend' of my aunt who gets around 90% of the estate, and some manipulation of my aunt's finances by this friend.  Police wont get out of bed for a million or so for fraud cases so didn't go to them.
    • Is he local to South London? My father made his solicitor the executive. I, for many years had Lasting Power of Attorney to deal with all his finances including liaison with his bank and payment of his care home fees. I was also responsible for the sale of his home to release funds for care home fees. When he died, I notified the solicitor, obtained the death certificate and organized the funeral, cleared his care home of his possessions . Myself and my cousin were beneficiaries but my father had left a small sum of money to a man in the Midlands whose name was unknown to all of us including my step mother. It  took around 9 months for solicitor to establish that this gentleman had been deceased for a number of years . This obviously put additional charges onto the fees.
