 "Firefly
with your pancake anyone?" |
Hi there,
Things are
looking up: February is almost over, and… it’s Pancake Day!
But before
you rush home with your flour, eggs and lemons, here’s a bit on what
we’ve been up to…

A Love Story
Valentines
season is well and truly over, and we have to say goodbye to our Love
Potion for another year. Lots of you said you liked it (with even a
couple of reported successes!) and even more of you asked about our Love
Potion couple. So here’s a quick look back at their six weeks of fame…
A brief history of the Love Potion Couple
|
Surprise
70 years
after romance first blossomed, our mystery pair is plucked from a quiet
life on a photo library
|
Fame
Mystery
couple suddenly find their picture everywhere from department stores to
style magazines. Frankly all a bit much.
|
Peace at last
Just as
they start to enjoy themselves, they’re put back in their box for
another year. And without anyone working out their true identities.
Please let
us know if you recognise them!

Those crazy Andorrans
The
Andorrans liked Love Potion so much that they threw a Love Potion
party! We have to confess that we weren’t exactly sure where Andorra
was at first. Our Geography teachers were clearly too busy teaching us
about Ox-Bow lakes.
Here are a
few handy facts, in case you find yourself on ‘Who wants to be a
millionaire?’ one day:
·
It’s a
country (taking our grand total of Firefly- drinking nations to 23!)
·
It’s way up
in the mountains between France and Spain.
·
The
population is 70,549 – one quarter the size of Brighton.
·
They have
their own parliament, their own seat at the UN, and their own web
suffix, “.ad”.
·
There are
more pistes than roads.
·
President
Chirac is co-prince of Andorra (lucky them)
·
Andorrans
are the highest consumers of Firefly, per head, in the world. We think.

Firefly will make you beautiful
Well maybe
not, but Firefly was quite a hit at Myla’s underwear fashion show. If
supermodels drink it, it must be good, right? You could try drinking
Firefly in your best underwear and see if that works. Anyway, it gave
us the perfect excuse to send you a picture of Lily Cole looking
lovely.

Are you a ‘New Quaker’ too?
The Evening
Standard says we are “New Quakers” - the hip, up-and-coming generation
who make 'all decisions with a good conscience'.
We started
wondering whether we really deserved this praise and whether all our
Firefly friends could be ‘New Quakers’ too. You can try out this quick
quiz to see if you are ‘hip’ like us (?!)
-
Firefly
or Diet Coke? (just testing)
-
SUV or
rickshaw?
-
Birkenstocks or Filas?
-
Starbucks
or star gazing?
-
Bush or
Bono (or neither)?
-
Bottle
blonde or au naturel?
(And don’t
believe all the hype: we’re sure we spotted one of these so-called New
Quakers popping into McDonalds…)

Have you seen our café book yet?
It’s the
little book that tells you about 56 of the best independent London
cafés. That’s one for every weekend of the year and then some, and a
bargain at £3.00.
It’s on Amazon (click here), or at a good café near you!

There’s a new girl on the block
Kate is
here to do ‘all things marketing’ and she loves to solve the world’s
problems over a glass of red wine, so feel free to drop in and say hi
(presents welcome, particularly the chocolate variety).
We googled
her and found that she really is quite famous – see if you can guess the
real Kate Moore on the left.

That’s
enough from us. Hope all’s well with you, and do keep in touch…
All the
best,
Harry,
Marcus, Jess and Kate
