Unless theyve recently changed it:
First Class Comp coffee comes from (fairtrade) instant stuff like nescafe (think its kenco but not sure).
Paid Coffee is the freshly ground stuff that takes ages to make.

Running a good business requires good housekeeping. Good modern factories are spotlessly clean. The best shops have well arranged goods, empty aisles and sparkle with their cleanliness. If you fly into Heathrow you see a busy airport around you, but you are not confronted by parked broken and decaying planes, piles of tarmac to repair the runway, or weeds growing high by the side of the taxiway.

I think I'm spotting a series of posts here, and I'm wondering if no. 3 or no. 4 is going to propose suggestions as to how the railways should be changed in order to change these issues.

Perhaps Mr. Redwood is making a 'maneuver ' towards a cabinet post, transport secretary perhaps.
