Part of Starbucks' success is attributable to the environment. They
provide plenty of comfortable chairs and tables, as well as a selection
of newspapers. It's a nice place to spend an hour or two. When I was
unemployed for 8 weeks this past summer, the Starbucks in the photo was
my office. It was a place to go to get out of the house. I still enjoy
stopping in there from time to time.
When i'm working out of the Gloucester (pr. Gloss'tur) office, I sometimes pop into the Starbucks with colleagues. Being a tea drinker, for a change I have a coffee. Last time i was there i ordered the largets one they do (what was it a grande??) and boy - all that caffeine - I literally bounced down the street afterwards. I looked like a druggy a couple of hours late!!
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Cheers, Cotty

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
