A new experience

Yesterday, for the first time I experienced Starbucks. A customer invited me for a lunctime chat over coffee. I had previously avoided what a took to be an expensive place to drink but for 1.75 ukp I did get what seemed to be a pint mug of excellent coffee. There was too much muzak for me but Starbucks will not join my short list of things American to be avoided. They are Macdonalds, American football ( a cross between chess and grievous bodily harm) , baseball caps ( especially worn back to front) and what they call beer ( put it back in the horse).
