Ye Olde Style Coffee Shoppe

It's a coffee shop.

And it's Old Style.

So while it is a chat area, the subjects should still be those relating to the usual fare of our Old Style forum.

It has been opened so that the more informative threads will be easier to keep on topic for people looking for information rather then a chatty approach to whatever they seek.

So here is where we can have more freedom in allowing the topics to wander a bit as long as the overall content is still Old Style.

If you choose a picture you like and PM it to me - I'll shrink it to fit for you.

hello,

yum, yum. Thank you for that lovely piece of cake *squirms in her seat* Ok, 3 pieces of cake lol!

Great coffee shop thread, thanks Squeaky.

Re: Co-op bargain shelf, yes they have an over stocked end of offer shelf by the door in my nearest co-op. Almost always crisps and fizzy drinks though.

Not really my thing

Right, now, do you recommend the latte or the mocha (brought my own mug btw - so do I get the 10% discount ....

)

eerrmm...was just wondering if the Coffee Shoppe is licensed cos I just fancy an Irish Coffee....eerrmm...actually, you can hold the coffee...I'll just have the Irish...hic!

one 10% discount coming up!

much better than Starbucks who offer you 10p off if you bring your own mug - misers!
- any comments on the best value coffee chain around?
although I guess thats only going to be relevant if you live in a big city where the delights of likkle individual coffee shops are few and far between.....

errmmmm......hello?? (Pokes head round door cautiously, don't like walking into new places on my own!) Am finding all this very unsettling to the point where I am actually considering doing some work this afternoon instead of surfing (Nooooooooooo! My boss would die of shock!) Any chance of a fondant fancy to settle my nerves?

I'll just creep in and hide behind Lillibet, btw does anyone fancy making the 100 or so fairy cakes I'm supposed to be baking?

Oh this is lovely, just had a slice of lemon frosted cake drinking my coffee now but lemon merangue would be lovely, haven't made one for years.

Oh no, I think it is the wrong day for me to be reading this thread. I broke my front tooth on Saturday and eating is really painful - everyone at work has been laughing at my attempts to eat my sarnie (insert very sad and hungry smilie). Can I get some soup in here??!
