James & Imran maybe it's time for some more linking up between us Brits.
So if you do make it down there Imran, let me know too. James I'm sorry that at the moment we're doing social media café only on the same day of the week that you're doing your free coworking but we'll be building on the success of what we've done so far and spreading out to other days & I hope to get down to one of your Friday gigs soon.
