Is Nero that much better?

I can't remember the name of the one I like, possibly it's Nero, is that the one in the wonky old building in the middle of Canterbury?Where Costa and Starbucks lead maybe the others will follow... having a Starbucks in town's got to be a good thing ...

Flipping Big Television

After much deliberation, arguing, stress, and a pizza express to diffuse the tension, we got ourselves a TV. Not exactly the one we went in for, we were talked up very slightly, after comparing them side by side. We did see others that we liked more ...
