    How come I get my wrist's slapped for postings that other people read sexual connotations into, yet an established and highly regarded Official Site Moderator such as Jo_b can write even worse. I don't know, one rule for one, one rule for the others...... :P ;D ;D ;D

    Too much coffee in my system I think :-/ :o

    Visited a small Starbucks that's part of a local Sainsbury's in Staines. Guy behind the counter didn't have a clue, but offered me a thimbleful of coffee whilst he checked with the manager.

    Returned with a huge foil pack of beans which he dispensed a few handfulls into the grinder and decanted as much as would fit in to a paper bag. Probably ended up with 300g+ of the stuff.

    Tried it in my Krups machine, and TBH not that impressed, so will probably seal the rest in tupperware in the fridge and use it to brew coffee for the less loved christmas visitors!

    Thanks to the OP good spot!

    Went to Meadowhell following this post and the Per Una and called at both Starbucks.

    Came away with samples of Verona, Columbian, Kenyan and some Decaf for the missus. Not a bad afternoon out - apart from from being at Meadowhell.
  • Thanks for that, don't know if I'll get to Starbucks, but hadn't sent a couple of Christmas cards so was able to send e-mail ones via the site (to switzerland), great stuff and no stamp required
    ;D
