Highlights of a day in London
- Seeing a real estate agent called Hotblack Desiato and nearly falling over laughing. Hotblack Desiato! Refrained from going in to ask if the manager was in, or still dead for tax purposes
- Donuts at the Camden stable market. mmm. Custard filled.
- Crazy old journals and newspaper clippings in same.
- Ordering a flat white and not being asked what that is.
- Drinking said flat white and finding it not only delicous, but adorned with a perfect rosette.
- Drinking a beer with Australian friends at the beer wharf on Australia Day.
- Finding my keys were actually at home, and not lost in London.
- Cellaring the dandelion wine to be savoured with the Norman Conquests.

Lowlights
- There range of Docs available in Camden is disappointing!

I think that about the time Douglas Adams borrowed the name, they were Hotblack and Desiato; but you have encountered a literary original all the same.
