Mustapha was cleaning a glass using a teacloth when the spy approached the counter."How may I help you sir?" Mustapha inquired"I'd like to order the Double espreso with steamed milk and chocolate sprinkles.""Grande or Regular?" asked the owner pointedly."Dammit - I always forget his part...er...um...Grande?""Close enough." shrugged Mustapha, "but you look quite odd in all the getup Si Bob, you should take notes from Guy how to dress up and be sneaky - he's terribly good at that sort of thing.""Here are you groceries Mr Kofi." said Bob reaching into the deep pockets of the trenchcoat and producing a bag of grapes and some fresh fruit."Most kind young man, I'd hurry up though if I were you, the others are already in the basement, I'll have the coffee sent down to you. Extra chocolate sprikles for you. I'll buzz you in - one second."Bob settled himself down at the table in the alcove Mustapha pressed on the secret pedal hidden under the counter and in the corner Bob was suddenly whiped round through the secret wall into the stairwell on the other side.He made his way down the steep flight into a long gloom, periodically off-set by single strip lighting that continued onto vanishing point.“

Baltimore's losses widened to £18m over the last quarter, and Bookham's to £6.3m. The results came on the day FTSE managers set 6 December as the date of the next review of its top 100 firms, with positions in the index going to firms with the highest market capitalisation.“
