A Letter to an MP



-Lack of Decent Coffee in Feltham-

Dear Seema

I'm writing about my concern over the lack of decent coffee shops in the Feltham area. I have lived here for the past year and am yet to find a cafe that has learnt that if a coffee is murky, it does matter and that the foam on a coffee isn't just for fun.

There are any number of burger shops that claim to do breakfast and countless corner shops with signs for a full English but I am always met with disappointment at the food and drink on offer. Omitted omelettes, outrageous orange juice and suspect sausages are the norm while sitting at a  poorly upholstered seat at a scruffy table.

It is to be said that the service is fair and the clientele of generally good character, but what we need are barista's and chefs! not bodgers and cooks. As an MP you could look into promoting free coffee courses so enlightened eaters will no longer have their americanos swapped with long-blacks, their cappuccinos crossed with flat whites, a place where we are no longer mocked for our mocha's and elites cross borough lines simply to admire our espressos.

I hope I haven't taken to much of your time, but this has bothered me for weeks, months even and I can no longer stay silent about the horrendous hollandaise on my less than holy eggs benedict.

Concerned, but Hopeful Resident
