So – what’s the story four years on? More howling dogs and out-of-control pram pushers? Neighbourhood deep in cast-of fag packets? Anarchists gathering to plot the end of the world? Croissants stale? Lattes curdled?

Thanks you for reading this whole saga, Josie. I’ve never had so many likes in one day. Sadly for the objectors, the cafe seems to have gone from strength to strength in the last 11 years (not just four). I moved out of the area quite a while back, and Rod sold the business and moved on to other visionary projects. Next time I’m over that way I must take a photo and post a little postscript.

Can the deadlinks be resussicated? resuscitaed recussitated? I’m not sure how to spell that word. Can they be brought back to the saga?
