** Introduction **
I am lucky enough to work in what is claimed to be one of the ?trendy? parts of London. The place they call Clapham. Whether it is actually ?trendy? is another story all together. However, luckily for me I am surrounded by bars, cafés, restaurants and of course the good old McDonalds or two! But this also means we are spoilt for choice. When we plan lunch we have to start planning from the morning. Indecisiveness is our middle name! But after a while we always break the list down to one or two favourite locations.
