I buy my coffee as whole beans from a woman at a market near where I live – Merton Abbey Mills as Collier’s Wood. So I was along there today for the vanilla and cinnamon coffees I depend on, and it turns out that she has another semi-regular customer who knows me. She didn’t get the person’s name, but apparently, there’s a woman I know who looks a little bit like me, with an apparently similar manner of speaking who shops for coffee at Merton Abbey Mills.

Anyone reading this want to put their hand in the air, because I’m baffled?
