Coffee shop bedouins revisited from Guardian Unlimited: Technology
In recent years, outdoor pavement tables and seating areas for cafes and restaurants have sprung up all over London and other UK cities, and the provision of WiFi is becoming commonplace so why sit at home alone all day?

Cafe working is also invaluable when you’ve an hour or two to kill between appointments in town, or while waiting for a tardy friend to arrive.
