Strange thing is, pubs are closing or dying left, right and centre - mainly because people won't pay 2 or 3 quid for a pint. However, they don't seem to mind paying £2.50 for a frothy coffee from the Costalot and Star*ucks that are opening on every street corner.
Had a voucher come through the door the other day for a free coffe at the Costa that has just opened near me. I would never go near the place normally, but if it's free - why not. Place was full of posh mummies and metrosexual types. People paying £5 for a coffee and flapjack.
Bloke on the next table drinking a toffee and cream cooler. Takes all sorts I suppose.
OK, my free coffee was very nice, but at the end of the day, it's just coffee. Can't see myself getting in the habit though. I'll stick with my local, thanks.
