Nero the Nerd

Many, many moons ago I casually commented that the square font used on Caffè Nero coffee shops makes the name of the chain look to me like Caffè Nerd.

And then not quite so many moons but still quite a long time ago I receive an email from a Mr. Reg Denke, Chairman of the Caffè Nerd Group, thanking me for mentioning his chain of less than two shops that serves the best instant coffee from sachets filched from hotel rooms all around the world!

Having been to less than one of their coffee shops, I am happy to have endorsed Caffè Nerd, however unwittingly, and can honestly say that their instant coffee is the finest I haven't tasted yet.
