Ahhh...coffee nostalgia. 40 or so years ago there was a place called Stewarts, downstairs in the Octagon, who roasted and ground their own coffee. If you walked past, the wonderful smell would waft you down the stairs......

I wonder if there are cables about that......rather than improve your own ranking, depress others'.
