Suspended Coffee - Forest Gate style

Check out this link to a BBC news report on this scheme in a Forest Gate cafe which is just down the road from where I live.

Customers can when they buy themselves a coffee at the same time pay for another, which could be claimed later by someone who couldn't afford it.

How cynical you are, anonymous! But not too cynical to assert that there are no nice part og Forest Gate!
John Gray lives in a small flat in a main road and I've never known him to have a plan to bulldoze anything.

Meant to say Newham Council. Of course you don't offer any opinion on the development on your doorstep.

Okay but you heard wrong. While I did as a resident offer my views I was also very confident that the local Forest Gate Labour Cllrs would do an excellent job on representing their constituents on this issue.

Which they did.
