Ceiling with feeling

Look up in the middle of your Costa Cappucino, when seated at the Orange coffee shop on the bottom floor of their London operation in Paddington, and this is what you will see. It's a trippy place to do business. It's also a drippy place to do business. Condensation from the frantic Orange staff milling about swilling posh frappadoolies and furthering their Global empire, slowly gathers on the ceiling until it rains gently down on unsuspecting visitors. Our hosts found this terribly amusing, but I can't say being drenched in the condensed effluent of thousands of Orange drones really appeals to my sense of ha ha. I drank my coffee a lot quicker once I realised what that warm sensation was on the back of my head.
