My coffee tastes a bit more watery than usual. I don't like it.

DickyC said: When the London Eye was shiny and new, Mrs C treated me to a "flight" (as we were encouraged to call it) for my birthday. We abandoned the car in Dolphin Square and hailed a cab on the Embankment.
"The London Eye, please."
"Certainly. Jump in."
Off we went; there was the London Eye getting bigger and bigger as we approached; there was the London Eye; there was the London Eye getting smaller in the rear window, out of range of any one way scheme imaginable.
"Er, where are we going?" I enquired, concerned about the meter.
"The London Eye Hospital," said the driver cheerily.
"No, the London Eye. You know, the big Ferris Wheel by County Hall."
It takes quite a lot to embarrass a Londonn cabby, but we had succeeded.
"Sorry, you're my first fare there!"
Today I found out the tradition is "the first fare is free." I don't reckon I'd find him now. Quite possibly not. Trivial news of the day. Ms DMN (well, what else can I call her?) is shaping up to be rather amusing indeed. Monday she is going somewhere that demands she fasts until midnight on Sunday. Cue us going to an all night CrappD's at 20 to midnight as she is hungry and worried that by 2pm the following day she will be grumpy and malnourished. Really, says I. Malnourished... is that the word you wanted to use? I have been reminding her of it on occasion since. I suggested that it would take a number of days if not weeks for that to be the case. Women have a certain kind of look at times...

Explain in abstract terms, using only a fish, a parrot and a piece of string, why the A6 would be a better ownership propisition'.
