Wow that’s deep!!!Callumcafc said:“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.”0 -

That'll be it, I believe he's still there last I heard.SoundAsa£ said:
Last I heard he was on The Isle of Sheppy……..which is of course right next door to Sittingborne. 🤔Covered End said:

Possibly in the vicinity of Sittingbourne.
He posted on here recently (which is extremely rare in many years).0 -
Being an old codger myself, I was dismayed when a youngster in my local Spoons served me a a pint of milk the other day. They didn't even give me a chance to finish stammering out the whole order, "... stout, please". Bloody yoof, hopeless!6

Bloody yoof, hopeless!You think that's bad - the other day before I had the chance to say "... and coke" I got one of these plonked on the bar in front of me.Yoof is most definitely wasted on the young.

Maybe it is because people insist on being wrong about what an Americano is?The Red Robin said:
Yeh but it’s obviously because people may want to just put their own milk in.Algarveaddick said:Cafe watch - continued...
In the Chestnut in Chislehurst this morning. I asked for a white coffee, got a black with milk on the side so no problem. Later another lady said she wanted coffee and the lady behind the jump asked if she wanted Americano with milk.
It's clearly a thing now, and doesn't matter as long as you know what you are getting, but I am thinking of asking for a cappuccino with no milk or chocolate and seeing the reaction...
(If they are sharp enough, they'll charge me full price and give me a black coffee
) I can’t believe we be had so many posts on this one. 😅
Since the discovery and importation of the humble coffee bean, until about ten (twenty?) years ago, an Englishman has managed to drink either a black coffee or a white coffee. There was no need to measure the amount of milk by the millimetre. What next? Insisting we pour our own pint in the pub in order to get the exact amount of "head" we want on our beer?
The whole point of my first post was to suggest that LTGTR was not being a twat in asking for a back Americano, as, despite it being unecessary to do so if you know what an Americano actually is, these days most people (including cafe owners in their seventies) go along with the suggestion that it can be white.

Woah...this was getting very confusing so I just googled what an Americano is! So Ive been requesting milk with mine all these years like some kind of feckin idiot? Every day is a school day...0

Some people use a coffee enema for Colon cleansing. It's not widely recommended by most science and health professionals, I don't know if that has anything to do with the way it's prepared and served or if it's an Americano. Certainly some sort of espresso..2

Think a flat white is usually two shots of espresso and milk. No hot water. Americano is one shot and hot water.EugenesAxe said:

And all goes to show what a fucking swizz the coffee industry is. Too many variations of a product that is basically either black coffee or coffee with milk.Similar to pasta…..the same shit in a million different shapes.8

I'm still around.
Like many others, having problems and getting old......63 !? Sixty bloody three.
Knees are knackered, carpet fitting'll do that to you. Living in Murston, Sittingbourne, sometimes think I'm the only leftie in the area 🙂
Will try and get up to The Valley for a game soon.
Hope all are well
