Episode 10：土用の丑の日

In today's episode we're joined by Krystal, a Chinese student, who has recently moved to London. In the podcast we'll hear what she thinks of the British weather (not as bad as you may think), the cost of living (expensive, but not dear), and why the English you learn at school doesn't always help you when talking with real Londoners. Listen now, as Krystal gives advice to anyone planning on moving to the U.K.. Or book a lesson with Cambridge David, and find out more about the real British life and culture.

We know a lot of jobs can be done remotely, an arrangement we often call "working from home."

But we also know that working remotely may not mean actually working at home — people work in libraries, in their cars and in cafes.

Many of us like working in the nice atmosphere of a coffee shop. But some cafe and bar owners have had enough of remote workers using their tables.

Some have banned laptops and turned off their Wi-Fi, while others have begun asking remote workers to pay to use the space.

Owners have complained that some people buy one coffee and work in their cafe for up to eight hours, or ask for the music to be turned down so they can have meetings online.

Peter Duran runs a coffee shop in Berlin. He doesn't have Wi-Fi and doesn't let people use laptops. He told Barista Magazine: "We want to be a place where people come to meet each other or be alone, but leave the stress of work outside."

And it's not just about the atmosphere of the place. Remote workers aren't good for business, says Duran, since they spend much less per hour than he pays his workers.

Of course, remote workers themselves don't agree.

On TikTok, one worker said if you pay $8 for a coffee you should be able to choose how you spend your time in a cafe.

However, with so many people working remotely, towns and cities around the world have begun opening remote working spaces where people can work without annoying any cafe owners.
