Costa: Bloody sick of the sight of them.

[eek]

See, that deserves some +ve so here....

Oh.. hang on..



Never mind. Back to business as usual I guess

Don't worry I did it for you. Mainly because I'm stuck in a Hotel room as it's tulipping down outside

Costa coffee are the best. I preferred them over starbucks and every other coffee shop long before they became so big. They make the coffee good only in their proper shops (rather than the machine ones or the places just using the brand).

Well I'm glad they meet your low expectations. I'm usually disappointed.

Machines everywhere? Current client site has a branch on site!

At least it offers an alternative to the free but crappy machines they have in the offices, and isn't quite as extortionate as I was expecting having only previously experienced them at motorway service stations.

Plus there's usually plenty of totty in there having 'informal meetings'.

So maybe a plan B is set up a franchise at your client if they have lots of staff. I've joked in the past about coming back with a burger van when finishing stints at clients on business parks miles from any shops. Everyone's got to eat and drink.

Long Whitbread!

Nope. As I say to agents when they're fishing, I'm not able to disclose the location or details of the client.

Particularly in case any of the permie managers (and there's lots of them) are lurking for any ammo to get rid of any contractors who may be showing them up.

I'm a big fan of Costa Coffee, as is GF Bacchus, but am getting bored of the brand (and, yes, they are every-bloomin'-where) and would rather use an independant.

Trouble is I also get bored of being disappointed with every independant that I try...

****osta linky No to Costa in Totnes

[doodab]

Too full of Hugos and quality is hugely variable. Nero is better, has free wifi usually as well.
