Some egg for your face, sir?

Unfortunately, due to matters entirely outside of our control, we're not going to be launching the full coffee service tomorrow. 

Yeah, you read that right, sorry... but it's not all bad news, don't worry. 

According to our brew-master-in-waiting, it's both outside of his control, and outside all due reason, so whilst it is still Launch Day, we're not going to be launching the full coffee service tomorrow... This means no coffee delivery service going live, and sadly, no surprise public open session here at River & Bean.

We're not going to even ask, let alone argue, as we reckon we could foam milk with the steam emanating from the poor guy's ears... We're not in the business of taking sides here down by the riverside, but having seen the size of the stack of printouts and paperwork involved, we're inclined to offer our deepest sympathies and the best of luck to anyone remotely connected with the situation.   

Still, patience is a virtue, they say... 

We're not feeling particularly virtuous, given that we were all looking forward to the launch, so we're going to go ahead with part of the launch plans, as we really want to introduce ourselves, serve up some of our coffee, and give a bit of a Christmas gift to the hard-working folk of Ayr. 

There'll be more announced tomorrow, and over the course of the weeks ahead. 

Thanks for bearing with us. See you next week.
