On the way out of a basement bar in Soho, I approach a round table at which three young men are sitting. One has hair that is short and peroxide blonde and comes to a widow's peak at the front. Another has a woolen jumper and a beard. The third sits opposite me with a straight back and a red bobble hat.
I address the table with my question. The blonde man gets in first. 'I've got two', he says and offers a response. 'Do you just need the one?' says the man with the beard. Without wanting to disappoint I explain that I do. 'Thank you very much', I say. The two of them nod in acquiescence. The man in the bobble hat remains immobile.
