Crisis what crisis!!!!

A close call at FPC this week. I have been known to rely heavily on coffee to keep me working during the day. And I like strong / real coffee! So when the Tassimo machine broke Monday this week (as in switched on as usual and there was a flicker of the red light and spark and then nothing), a crisis was brewing.
So there was a short conversation for a back up plan - flasks and coffee from a local cafe. Then onto the Amazon site to find a replacement.
A few more old fashioned anglo saxon words as I found the price of the base tassimo has gone from £70 (paid Nov 09) to £90. No postage obviously as I am a Prime customer. A little more searching to find that the Amazon is the best price. So ordered Tuesday and delivered Wednesday and, as the Microsoft advert says, crisis averted!!
Now perfectly happy with regular coffee!

  1. For any doubters this is all true, no joke that it was a crisis, Neil really can't cope without coffee! Or rather his staff can't cope without him having coffee! Luckily for me i only had to suffer one day of this as i had the day off yesterday! Thank goodness for next day delivery!!!
