The Angel

So, dad arrived from the land of the French tonight. I met him at Liverpool Street, where he was laiden with magazines, clothes for the wedding and French ideas.
We went out to the Angel, our round-the-corner pub-cum-eaterie, ate too much and got to the point of ordering coffee.
‘I’ll have an espresso,’ dad told the waitress.
‘I’m sorry,’ she told him. ‘We don’t have anything that sophisticated,’ sneering at his mad French way of thinking. ‘I might be able to do you a filter coffee if you like.’

Good heavens! You boil stews with mint and you cannot make expressos? You are a downright weird people.
