Today I went out for a coffee as my home is full of painters and the coffee machine is under a dust sheet somewhere...
What I want to know is when did coffee get so complicated!!
I went to Starbucks as I fancied a cool Frappucino...I stood in line and was amazed at the different orders. My favourite was from an American lady with tight black leggings on and a baseball cap with WINNER on it?? She ordered a Venti Iced Half-Caf Toffe Nut Soya Latte, light ice, no whip with extra shot...what the hell is that I thought.
When it was my turn to order I almost said " I'll have what she's having" but wasn't too keen on the Soya..Instead I ordered a tall Coffee Frappucino....
Like everything in life it seems we over complicate...I long for the good old days when a coffee was black or white!
Once I settled into my comfy chair I was disturbed by how many people were either talking on their mobiles or tapping away on Laptops...I longed for the old days when we used to go out and had no mobile phones or PCs...all we had, if we were lucky, was an ansaphone at home taking messages!!
As I left Starbucks I noticed the American lady with the baseball cap....she was chatting on her I Phone whilst using her Mac and drinking her complicated coffee....WINNER sums her up!!!
