Well I love coffee, have done since school age, long before hipsters were a thing. In my experience, only a few do it right and there’s a world of difference, try a flat white at one of these shops and you’ll see what all the fuss is about. Edinburgh , “Wellington coffee” on George Street. Manchester, oddly named “North Tea Power” in a slightly scruffy back street. Lemington Spa, Corleone cafe on Regent Street Costa, Nero and especially Starbucks are the Liebfraumilch of coffee, they just churn the stuff out indelicately, you won’t get the right impression there. And no, I don’t have a funny beard and my clothes aren’t two sizes too small

Err, sorry, “textured milk” . . .could someone please explain Milk with texture Or The dead skin cells from the calluses from the palms of the maidens who milk the cows That would be Organic milk then  Whilst I worked for the Ministry the in house term for Organic products was you know the stuff with more s8it in it, and it's true I've seen it  . Proving the provenance is impossible and don't let them tell you otherwise, it's only a paper trail.

I’ll remember your recommendation, Simon, not visited Bristol yet though.
The texture is the size of the bubbles in the foamed milk, the smaller and finer they are, the better the coffee infuses through them. I know it all sound like pretentious twaddle and unfortunately; plenty know the lingo but don’t have a clue how to actually do it.

We were out with my niece a few years ago. I was there on credit card carrying duties only.
She was looking at clothes and I was standing at the counter in the clothes shop. A very well dressed lady in her mid 30's came up to the counter to pay for some ripped jeans.
The assistant said "that is £40 thank you" to the lady! Just for devilment I said " excuse me those jeans are ripped, they should be sold at a large discount as the lady will have to repair them after purchase."
Both the shop assistant and the well dressed lady looked at me as if I was from a different planet.
Nothing unusual there then! You mean people buy ripped jeans in a shop, not a charity shop? I thought it was just that there were more poor people around after the all the economic difficulties & benefit cuts.

I stopped going into Costa Coffee and alike when I was told by the person serving me that I had to request extra hot to have my coffee at a decent temperature. The worlds gone mad.
