Thanks to remote work, Lee-on-the-Solent has a new species: the digital nomad who struggles to find a plug socket in the local Costa. Their job title might be “marketing consultant,” but their real job is lingering over one latte for four hours while pretending to type an email.
The locals call this “the new squatting.” If you do this, your only hazard is accidentally making eye contact with another nomad, forcing you to nod in solidarity. Plugs are power here, and tables are territory.
