I goy a medium soya cappuccino with chocolate on top for £2-35, sounds expensive but must have been half a pint and was delicious. Their pastries look top class as well.

thats saying that people go in for coffee. nobody goes in a coffee shop for coffee, they go in to pose and pretend theyre sophisticated. so what do the posers who dont like coffee drink?

Global commercialism thinly disguised as enviro-fairtrade-trehugging.

Avoid them, Starbucks and any other global b'stards.

Support your local indpendant selling just as good coffee without lining the pockets of shareholders.

went today - scarf (which I kept on),beanie hat, jeans (not skinny), shoes that look like trainers. Ordered my latte, sat in a corner with my laptop - did n't make eye contact with anyone.

Not sure where that puts me on the attention seeking/gay scale.

I'm assuming there's a corrolation between being an attention seeker and being gay - in fact I'm sure there is.

mildly, i'm glad to say.

putting things straight, the right way up, that kind of thing.

mate once opened and ate some crisps from the 'bottom' of the bag, that was a bit freaky.

Do you?

I used to visit the first Costa Coffee, which was a small place in Victoria, popular with black cab drivers, mid 1980s. Family firm that used to sell all sorts of coffee beans as well the best espresso in area. Think they sold up to sometone who then expanded it.
