On the way back from London yesterday, a woman who was sat across from me ordered a coffee from the trolley with 6 sugars and 5 sachets of milk. She put the lot in.
Anyone beat this?

With McDonald's coffee (which is rather bitter to my taste) I usually put in 7 or 8 sachets of sugar. (I never put fewer than 5 in any type of coffee). However I usually only need 3 or 4 cartons of milk in most coffees.
Does the guy who got through two bottles of wine between London and Kettering count?
Now that's impressive, Gness, although I confess to once having got through a bottle of gin between London and Newcastle, but that's a 3½ hour journey.
If the sugar was in those narrow paper packets then 6 isn't enough for me.
Impressive indeed, Jack....and it kept six ladies quiet just watching him.....and he didn't miss a step when we got out at Kettering...☺

I got through a bag of my favourite sweets on the journey... Munchies:)
Have some of you lot got worms?
As a diabetic, I would have been in a coma before I reached my destination.
With all that sugar in it, I am surprised that she could taste the coffee !
on all the trains I've travelled on recently, the trolley has had no hot water. so I've not faced the "how many sugars" dilemma.
I avoid trains if at all possible ( accept the little steam ones ! )
The sachets are not a proper spoon full.

I love the milk in the mini cartons. I could sit and drink them and leave the coffee behind.

Why am I not surprised about that, ummm:-)
It's because I'm special and you know it :-)

You sound like my mother!! :-)
As a young articled clerk, having had too much beer after work, I went in the buffet on platform 12 at Manchester Victoria, now gone.

I got a large black coffee and thought lots of sugar would help. Someone had filled the sugar dispenser with salt, and I swallowed a big mouthful before I realised. I missed my train, but felt a bit better after parting with my stomach contents.
Lol...that's a nasty thing to do.
