Death on the high street. .........leaves me feeling a little sad shattered dreams.

There is a huge growth in artisan coffee shops.

I always try and choose those than the chains.
Especially Starbucks which uses budget beans and over roasts them so the bitter burnt taste cuts through the milk based drinks that many prefer.

Coffee is coffee, just make a brew at home, it all tastes by an large the same.

Years ago we used to have big elaborate coffee makers, with the milk frothers etc, then we went over to the cafetierres, and then for years we just stuck to instant, too much faffing about with the machines.
But in January, we bought one of those Nespresso machines. Very pleased, lovely coffee, nice and simple.

Yeah, I used to love pubs, back in the day when the pub was the only social hangout.
A combination of social media and expensive alcohol seems to be killing them off. A friend works in the drinks industry (market research) and says kids have pretty much stopped boozing - they just hang out sober or get high. Rare to see a bunch of 18 year olds drinking in a pub, maybe uni towns being an exception.

My local social club does well with the youngesters. Pubs are less popular now
