question from Yank about Gatwick airport area ?

Coffee in the land of the free is akin to dirty dish water in terms of real coffee. It`s like comparing piss to Guinness. Coffee has to a)taste good, and b) have cafeine in it. Cawfee does neither Go Italian mate. UK coffee is only marginally better than the piss served in the good ole you ess of ay

In Doncaster we have a KFC which gives free food and drink to rozzers.

I would strongly disagree...The variety and quality of coffee varies so greatly in the USA, it is very hard to stereotype it like that. It is not really hard to find good coffee, even in a greasy spoon.

I read somewhere why all you blokes ( now u have me talking funny ! LOL ) drink tea. Because all your ancestors frequented the first coffe houses and the brothels up stairs, and the wives got pissed, and coffee was banned !!

Is that true ? Great story.

I only like green tea and the iced tea that we have. Just putting a regular old tea bag in a cup just doesn't do it fo me.

I can't stand tea, and I am not suprised America has good coffee, arnt you right next to the countries that grow all the coffee beans etc?

[MORTARDUDE]

yes, they are just down south...but it is grown all over the world..supposed to have started in Ethiopia, I think. I had some of the $ 13 a lb. brew in Hawaii, it was good, but didn't seem worth the money. I did get a "Hula Bean" T-shirt and mug from the store I was in though.

They both have the young lady on them.

Geez ..I just looked on their web site and it is $ 39 a lb. I should have bought a bunch and shipped it over...I am sure was like $ 12 in the store !!

No coffee is worth $ 39 a lb....I would buy tequila or rum first. LOL
