Ben Aaronovitch Quotes
When you arrive unexpectedly at someone’s house you go in through the front door, often after making sure you’ve got a couple of mates waiting round the back.

If you go in from the rear, the customer-facing staff are all facing the wrong way and everybody starts their conversation on the back foot.
