Coffee on Lower Marsh Waterloo

Img00134-20100602-1340

Today I'm having a flat white and slice of apple cake in the Vespa Scooter cafe on Lower Marsh. Its a really cool laid back place to spend time in. The music played is good too. Being here made me think of the old TV series Friends and the coffee shop the characters used to meet in Central Perk. The one thing that dates Friends is that nobody was ever seen in that coffee place using a laptop. Today even in the little place I'm in there is one guy with an Apple Mac. Be Interesting to see what people will be using in fifteen years time. Hey by the way I suppose the forerunner of the coffee shop on TV was the series Ellen where Ellen worked in a book shop that had a coffee area. I remember my first trip to Borders and visiting the coffee shop INSIDE the booshop. Nowdays coffee in bookshops is as normal as seeing Heinz Baked Beans in a supermarket. Oh progress how we love you...

Ps they are playing Waterloo Sunset in here at the moment how appropriate.
