I'm in that London for the nssn conference and somehow have found myself in firebox. I'm having a mezze and apart from some meatballs I have no idea what any of the stuff on my plate is. I also got a very funny look when I asked for a can of coke lol

They were resisting the urge to denounce you as a accessory to the murder of Colombian trade unionists, I would gather.

Alternatively there's Whole Earth Organic Cola (which they serve in a few places in Manchester), although Whole Earth isn't that pleasant a company, got pretty shit working practices. Not that Firebox would give a toss about such details...

at £2 a glass
(but if I really was trying to provide coke-type drinks to the working class that might be what I'd go for, more so than some overpriced "organic" or "ethical" fare.
well, there's ethical, and there's ethical, no?

No ubuntu either 
But 2 interesting/amusing incidents.
1) they started lecturing a Frenchman for wearing an England cap.
2) I got my 20 quid out before the food came and the woman said shed ring it through. When we finished they asked for the money and I said I'd already given it them. Got into a big argument but then found that I'd put my 20 quid back in my pocket - oops lol
To be fair, even though I didn't know what I was eating it was dead nice, too expensive for me reallybut iI guess its not that bad considering London prices. I really couldn't imagine taking the lads from my old pipe fitting shop in there though lol

That's the shit tesco pop. It's the devil's piss - the Lib Dems of the cola world.
However, the cola of the international working class does come with a Tesco label - but instead of going for tesco value, you should go for Tesco original - you can tell it's proper communist prole juice cos it comes in a red bottle. Tastes at least as nice as Coke but only costs about 60p a bottle

To be fair to you everytime I've been in there they've got confused over money and when I went in there with Past Caring they refused to let him go back to his table with a second coffee until he paid...
Customer service is not their strong point

I definitely hadn't given it them, I only had one £20 on me. But what confused me was that the waitress said she was going to ring it through and I assumed she'd picked it up off the table.
The service was shit though - but weirdly shit, in a way I've not seen before - not like they were too busy but more like they were kind of distant, like their minds weren't really on serving us. I did feel a bit sorry for the young waitress though - not only was she working with Clair Solomon and having to watch John Rees posing all day, now she had a northern twat (and assuming she was a Counterfire member I was a northern twat who she probably suspected of EDL sympathies - skinhead in jeans and a tracky top) ranting at her about nicking his £20 - and apparently she'd only been working there a week
The food was alright but I could have got a mixed grill and a pint from weatherspoons for that price and still had change left over and it really wasn't the kind of thing I'd have chosen to eat normally.

Couldn't hear exactly what was being said but I heard the word 'patriotic' and something about it being a fascist cap. The bloke looked genuinely mortified - just seemed like a bit of a cunt's trick to me really. Felt really sorry for the poor sod - he'd come to England and got a cap as a souvenir, just like I might get a tacky model of the eiffel tower or a t shirt with the tricolour on it if I went to France.
You know NH don't you? He was there with me, might have heard them clearer than me what with having younger ears.

I decided to meet a friend there for breakfast in the week... on their website it says open at 8am, but they open at 9am... although elsewhere on their website it also says open at 8.30am.

Yeah I know NH, very nice lad
I wonder if Rees confronts everyone who wears England caps in his cafe or just helpless tourists, what a cunt. I never even knew that there were people who acted as if it's racist or fascist to wear England stuff, don't they find it a bit weird that there are so many Asian and black fascists at football matches?

Messy Crimbobs, fellow humans.
This sort of stuff really annoys me. If I still had my replica England shell suit from when I was 10, I'd be squeezing into it right now and marching down to this shit sounding cafe to annoy them.
