A thread on Twitter is going viral, and people are loving it. A man, who paid £20 (more than Rs. 1,700), for a boiled egg, tea and toast, explained very well, why it was absolutely amazing to pay the amount. No it, is not the taste of the breakfast, which presumably be decent at least, but a good reason that the cafe in Walthamstow, north London support. As the Twitter user, Steve Parks requested, do not jump into a conclusion before reading the entire viral thread to find out, why it was absolutely worth the price for the breakfast.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트Come, Give Me That Hug,슬롯사이트� Arizona Police Officer Rescues Suicidal Man With Warm Embrace.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천
People in London are used to pay high prices to survive in the capital. London climbed eight places in the world슬롯사이트s most expensive cities ranking in 2019 and it is a home to restaurants that easily burn the hole in your pockets. So, the news, when Park stumped up £20 for the breakfast he had, he did not feel entirely unfathomable, even if it make your wallets weep.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Pennsylvania Man Gives 슬롯사이트Dad Hugs슬롯사이트� to Pittsburgh LGBTQ Parade Attendees.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

Self Serve Service Only
Delicious. Love a boiled egg and soldiers.
Next up, take your plate and cutlery back, scrape the food waste into a special bin, and stack the dirty crockery ready to be washed. Pay £20. Have a chat, and then get back to your day...

Not Much to Offer
The menu is basic too. The sign outside boasts that it is 슬롯사이트the smallest menu in wood street슬롯사이트� !
It only does boiled eggs (not eggs in any other way), toast, jam, porridge. Mix those in any way you like. It also does tea or coffee.
It doesn슬롯사이트t do takeaway, you have to eat in...

A Shocking Stats!
But then there슬롯사이트s the shocking fact that 28% of people, in a thriving major capital city, are living in poverty, according to official definitions and statistics

One in Six People are in Low Paid
And poverty is not just about unemployment - it affects people in part-time and full-time employment, because of disparity between stagnant earnings and rising living costs. One in six people are in low-paid jobs.

Pay What You Like, If You Like
There are brilliant charities and volunteers that provide food handouts, soup kitchens, food banks and so on.
And this cafe is actually a new (to me at least) approach to that.
It is open to *everyone*, and is 슬롯사이트Free - pay what you like, if you like슬롯사이트�

Donate
If you want to pay, there슬롯사이트s a small donation box next to where you drop off your dirty plates. But nobody sees, and nobody will notice if you can슬롯사이트t put anything in.
The idea is that if you can afford to put something in, maybe contribute for some other breakfasts too.

Everybody Deserves A Good Start
And I love the idea. A whole community mixed up together, regardless of background or status, all able to chat and eat a good breakfast, regardless of means. Superb.
As they say on their sign: everybody deserves a good start to the day.

As understood, the café asks customers to donate as much as they would like or able to pay when they visit. The £20 fee that Parks paid was a donation that he chose to pay not one that is compulsory for everyone. You can even pay nothing, but the café is focussed on offering an equal experience to everyone who wants to eat. As the board outside, the cafeteria say, 슬롯사이트Everyone Deserves A Good Start to The Day,슬롯사이트� it literally means it. All in the name of a good cause.
