Nothing is the cheapest alternative.

Taste even better with a dash of rum in it !

My old boy loved it but eventually had to give it up because it affects your ticker (if you make it strong enough)

My childhood remembers those "glug glug glug plip plip plip" days well

Genuinely confused? They may all be called 'bars' these days but when I were a young un' they were coffee shops…

I bet you're one of those posh people who calls red sauce ketchup.

I must be getting old! It. When I was a lad and you asked for a cup of coffee, that's what you got. It doesn't seem long ago that I asked for a cup of coffee and was asked whether I meant espresso, latte, cappuccino, mocha, americano, and several more I can't remember – and this by a lad who looked about 12. But I'm determined to learn, because modern coffee is miles better than the grey sludge served up in my home town in the 1960s.

I think coffee bars were from the 50s and 60s eg 2Is, caffs were frequented by ton up kids or bypass Cowboys

Yes a bit before your time Neil and mine really

When I was daft enough to go fishing in all weathers, a shot of Cointreau in the coffee worked wonders. At the other end of the scale, who can remember Camp coffee? I'm horrified to discover that you can still buy it.

Before you condemn Camp coffee, try some in a large glass of cold milk. It's delicious! First tried it at a Knoll Hill traction engine rally. It was baking hot that day, and a glass of that from a vendor was just what I needed.
