I agree with Aster - coffee strong and black is the way to go - or the occasional espresso macchiato when you feel the need to increase your calcium intake
Lattes, cappuchinos, syrups etc?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I don't have the time or desire to learn trendy coffee names, strong is the only label my coffee needs, when the coffeeshops have time to pay their taxes, i may be more inclined to learn....but I doubt it! I would hate to turn into one of the trendy cliché folk who sit in the window waiting to be seen with their I phones, white headphones, apps, trendy beards, getting foamy froth caught up in it!....urgh!
Plain black coffee for me except for an occasional proper capuccino. have to find a Café Nero when in the UK or drink water. I don't get Starbucks, Costa and their ilk. Don't like tea except maybe a darjeeling once or twice a year.
I don't get the obsession to be in touch with everyone on twitter or endless texting and yet not talking to the people in front of you. Went to an annual reunion of old friends - all now in their 60s and IT types - and every single one of them had their mobile and/or i-Pad and/or tablet to hand. Except me. Haven't seen each other in some cases for a year so loads to catch up on and they're all looking at the screen in their hand!
I don't get "celebrity", squid ink, oysters, football tribalism, religion (especially extremist or evangical. I can take care of my own conscience thank you), zumba (why? you could be dancing instead), begonias, euphorbias, aubergines, people who think gardening is infradig, Socialism with a capital S, Fascism, paintings of children with tears (remember those from the 60s?), cruelty to people, animals and plants (bonsai).................

But not with sterilised milk, as they do in France. Tea with sterilised milk is yuk.
Thank you B3, feel re-assured
Christmas jumpers
especially worn at the pub on Boxing day with splashes of Christmas dinner on them 
Lol, agree with you Kef, especially the dinner stains
who was the person who thought a cup of coffee needed peach and marshmallows added?

my sentiments exactly wonky.
