Do you find this challenging ?

small indicates less value for money, so a medium or large meal.coffee.kebab or john Thomas equals a much better deal

Unless you only want a small one in which case anything more expensive, even if it is gargantuan, is a waste of money if you can't drink it all.

Anyway I'm sure Lady Dark has reassured you that size isn't everything.... just saying

Kapow!!

... all they serve is weak milky coffee like my grandmother used to make ...

That's cos you order a GIRLIE ' latte '.... try a ' flat white ', that's a MANS drink.

Actually a flat white is a right hairdressers drink, go for a double espresso

Actually I often do just that .... order a double espresso, finished in ' flat white ' albeit Crown rather than Dulux.

I can only conclude it must be a generational thing, I have no problem navigating a coffee shops menu and ordering and receiving my desired beverage
perhaps the baby boomer generation should stick to tea shops ?

They're all girlie with their fancy names! Why don't they speek proper english like wot i do with their muffins and lattes!!! Where I go we call them cakes, coffee and buns and you get bacon butties and pies. Now that's proper man's grub!!! And whoever invented a skinny latte wants stringing up and shooting. As if they're not tasteless enough already.
If you have to pay for an extra shot of coffee in order to taste it, the coffee can't be up to much.

Wonderful to meet another tightwad after my own heart.

I'm happy to go for coffee when away from our nearby town but, as we live less than 10 minutes walk from our local town, it seems madness to waste money on a coffee when it only takes minutes to get home. Hubby thinks I'm a tightwad as well. Mind you, I'm happy for him to have a coffee if I'm wandering around M&S just to have a bit of peace and being able to concentrate on that very important pastime of clothes shopping.

No problem at all unless we happen to be stood outside ' Costa ' in Oxford when one's coffee machine is umpteen miles away in Darzet

[Mervyn and Trish]

Well we're about to wander off into town where no doubt we'll have a cissy latte. They only do one size at our local restaurant so no mucking about with tall, regular, primo, bonio, medio, pluto or whatever. And it's buy five get one free and today's my lucky day. Then it's back home to shed building.

WOW ... you ARE a mine of information aren't you, thanks a bunch Shylock or is it Sherlock

[ITWA Travel Writer]

Shame on you all, and they call us Scots mean

Think of all those underpaid Brazilian junkies who depend on you buying their coffee

[Gill W]

Sometimes we wait until we get home for a coffee, sometimes we take a flask and other times we go to a coffee place.

Just depends how we feel really.

But we rarely go to pubs, we prefer going out for a coffee instead

It must be something contagious I caught when I came to live up here next to Krankieland.

I too used to frequent coffee bars for the juke box and the girls. Now a Carte Noir Decaff latte made at home with semi skimmed knocks the spots off anything in Starbucks or Costa, and that has nothing to do with the price. My 11.00 treat!
