My luck was in last Saturday as I sat outside what is frequently referred to as ‘the left wing coffee shop’ on Portobello road. Who should walk by but a young man by the name of Taye Armani, the owner – my accomplice informed me – of a miniature French Bulldog.
Taye informed me of two facts. One, that he was a model and TV presenter, and two, that he was friends with Paris Hilton – he had the photo on the screen saver of his phone to prove it. Of course what I really wanted to know was this: how come you’ve got such a teeny tiny little dog. Simple, he said, I live in a small flat and I don’t have much space. This seemed like a perfectly logical answer to me.
