Morning, everybody.

Welcome along to your free podcast for today for Thursday, the 11th of November.

I think it rained yesterday.

Oh, it did rain. It did rain.

Not very much, actually, because I went out for a nice cup of coffee.

Do you know, I've forgotten how expensive a cup of coffee is in Twickenham?

We had two because they do small, medium or large. Venti it's called. I didn't, I've seen the word, but I couldn't remember what it was.

We had two, I took them ages to service and there was nobody in the cafe at all because Lynn likes to sit outside and have a little bit of a cigarette or four.

And so we had these two, when I pay from at the end, how much changed I got that for tenor?

Four quid.

Six pounds?

Six pounds for two.

Oh, that's normal, is it?

I thought it was an outrageous price.

I nearly said, I'm sorry, we're not buying the cafe.

We just thought we'd have a cup of coffee. When you think all it is, it's a bit of frothy milk and a little bit. Just coffee. Well, and I didn't even have chocolate.

I mean, that should have reduced the bill, shouldn't it?

You don't have this sprinkles of chocolate on the top.

Anyway, that was all very good, and she's helping me with my pension, which is good.
