morning i'm surprised you're always so punctual
you get to work early what time do you leave your house in the
morning usually around 20 past eight i take the tube it's quite quick

of paper cups stirrers white and brown sugar coffee
and even two types of tea well so then tell them that we don't
need anything and the machine works just fine
