Coffee shops

I came very late to this thread and just read your very sad news MissAdventure, my sincere condolences on the loss of your daughter.

I'm so very sorry to hear your sad news about your daughter MissAdventure . I can't imagine what you are going through.
Please talk on here if that will help you

MissA

On the subject of coffee, does anyone else get confused by all the different coffees these places sell? I recognise an Americano but that is about it. Go in and just as for a coffee and you get a blank stare!!

Where possible I stick with small independent shops, they at least understand what this grumpy old woman wants!

Should have gone to Specsavers moment NanKate

Although I love ‘real’ coffee I have to have instant these days, don’t know why, but good coffee now makes me feel nauseous.Could be medications I suppose.

Gave up on coffee shops ages ago, I can't cope with paying for coffee which sometimes has an undesirable impact on my stomach. Also the NOISE! If I was home and my neighbours were that noisy I'd have to move, so definately not paying for it.

missadventure so sorry to read your post. It's so hard I know. Hope your virtual eccles cake was even better than the real thing

Me too I haven't been on this thread so I would like to add my condolences to misadventure too.

Thank you all, again. It helps to read your comments.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Misadventure.
I too know what it is to become best friends with the staff of the hospital Costa

You can't just ask for a coffee. They will ask what kind?
And they don't mean Maxwell House or Nescafé?
They will look blank. But they will understand a skinny latte frappuchino though....
It's a whole new language nowadays.

MissAdventure, my belated condolences to you. I am saddened by your news and my heart goes out to you. I hope you have the support of family and friends as you come to terms with the loss of your daughter. How very sad.
