I know we like to focus on the "big ticket" users of Bitcoin, but this kind of adoption matters too. Thanks for posting it.

Great news. The more of these Mom & Pops accept BTC, the more it gets into the public consciousness as a legitimate payment mechanism. It's an important spoke in the virtuous cycle towards acceptance as current money. Let's have more of it.

Mr Reaney said: “Many people from the technology scene are really keen to make transactions. I’ve got people from all around the world now wanting to buy my burgers. There aren’t many things you can physically spend your coins on so people want to come and play with their imaginary money.”

I don't know how to feel about "imaginary money".
At least pretend you are not doing it just as a publicity stunt.

Heck, if bitcoin is imaginary money, then MP3s are imaginary music and JPEGs are imaginary photographs

Nice, but i think they better start to use mBTC for smaller transactions for getting used to it.
Like ... bought this computer in bitcoins for 500 mBTC(0.5 BTC).
