Dunno why I haven't had a rant on here about these Coffee shop types before.Starbucks, Cafe Nero, Costa an the like, it's not the shops that I dislike, it's the people who frequent them an buy into the whole lifestyle thing. I've never been into one, not just because I'm a tight arse an wouldn't dream of payin ?3 for a cardboard cup of froth, but because I hate that whole I have to get my caffeine fix first thing cause I'm sooo stressed with work an my busy lifestyle thing. What a load of bollocks these people spout about a Tall skinny Latte or a Double decaf soya latte. What's an Americano? A flat white? What is this nonsense? It's Coffee. Maxwell house or Nescafe, that's as much as you need to know about Coffee. Or perhaps a fair trade brand that tastes crap but makes you feel like your doin your bit to save the planet. I'm off for a brew. |

I have a wallet full of loyalty cards from wanky London coffee shops. ' Cafe Nero' in Old Compton Street, now there's a good one from about 8 years ago. If I'd worked a late session then that was my place to pop in for a brew and read my notes. Pretty much what you'd expect, but always some entertainment after midnight. The coffee was okay but the people watching was second to none. One time, I nearly had a problem with some pissed up arse who stumbled in one night and decided that he wanted a pop at me for 'looking at him'. I look at everybody. It's what I do. A 6' tall transvestite friend of mine pushed him out before I could say 'eh?' Cost me a round of coffees, mind. Gas, grass or ass - ain't nobody rides for free. I miss all that sometimes. Goodshaw Boy - when we go to That London, pitching our latest sit-com* then I'll take you in there! I'll show you something that'll make you change your mind... . *Working Title is Holland's Hills. It's about two brothers called John and Phil Hill (geddit?) who work for Holland's Pies in Baxenden - but they are very different characters. There are various ensemble characters including a hippy stoner chippy owner, a mysanthropic pub landlord, and a 70 year old Haslingden hill farmer who bobsleighs down Cribden. Then, one day, the lads are given the opportunity to take over their own factory after Holland's closes due to the VAT increase on pies. Hilarity ensues. .
