Just wanted to congratulate Gwilym, the new UKBC champ, and everyone else competing in 2009 – I always new competing would be tough – but having experienced the process first-hand, I’ve even more respect for all those who enter!
I confess I don’t know too much about the flat-capped-cart-phenomenon (who is quickly turning into a bigger caricature than Barista Boy himself!), having only spoken to him briefly a couple of times, but from what I saw on Tuesday, he’s a deserving winner: a really good set – knowledgeable, sincere, and with a technical preciseness and sense of ease that I’m sure can only come from much hard work and practice. He seems like a thoroughly nice fellow, and hats off to him!
Post to follow regarding my own reasonable, but much less impressive set, and cringeworthy sig drink shots blunder..!
