South hams hunter 8,814 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Girls are at school so thought on the way to shopping we'd grab a coffee from the Costa drive thru. Misses asks me what I want as she's driving; just a coffee, what type? Just a white coffee. She apparently doesn't know how to say that in Costa language, I don't come here so didn't realise it'd be a difficult ask. Conversation with the drive thru went as follows - - can I have a salted caramel frostino with a shot of coffee and cream - what size? - large -mediums the biggest - medium please. - can I also have a white coffee - is that an Americano - just a coffee - do you want milk -please - what type -normal -is that dairy -please - skinny, skimmed, semi skimmed or whole - whole .f**k me that was painful! I've attached a photo of the monstrosity she ordered 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,182 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 You can’t get a decent cup of coffee in Britain or Ireland, it’s all filth bar one little Italian gaff in Hatton Garden. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greb147 6,808 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 Yorkshire Tea is where it's at, might as well eat a bag of sugar when you get all those fancy coffees, terribly unhealthy things. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borr 4,474 Posted September 14, 2021 Report Share Posted September 14, 2021 I spend a bit much on Costa and similar , but it's convenient, normally get an extra shot. It's my treat when travelling about or a livener before I get home to family lol. I like tea but it's got to be just so. Rarely enjoy if anyone else making it. I'm in my cabin pouring instant out of a jar tipping bag of sugar and stirring with a bit of filler rod, in a soggy old Costa cup , so it's not all the time... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
