cardboard coffee

[joggerjayne]

When you have a coffee at a "pit stop" coffee shop, like Starbucks ...

(as opposed to a leisurely tea room)

... and you are drinking it IN ... do you get a china cup, or a cardboard take away cup ?

when
I was at the hospital I had a cardboard cup of tea in a paper cup and it tasted like utter pigswill

You get it in a cup if you're drinking in and cardboard if you're taking away.

[joggerjayne]

cazzz ... maybe that was the coffee !

China ... I go cardboard either way.

[dizmouk2009]

Cardboard all the way! I tend to keep a few of them in my car afterwards so I can pull up somewhere and have a drink.

Vibe ... I'm not "posh"

I wasn't asking as a matter of etiquette ...

... I was curious about people's preferences.

I prefer cardboard cups because they are less naughty. If you settle down with a proper cup, it feels indulgent, as if you are having a treat. Coffee in a take away cup is just refuelling.

So anyway ... do they eat mushy peas in the North? I would have thought so.

We most certainly do, and loads of gravy on our chips to go with it.

B00 ...

There's no need to get all weird on me !!

LOL

[joggerjayne]

Vibe ... mine was full of smiles when I read it !!

=0)

china in, cardboard out

why does that sound so wrong?????

gravy on chips is never ever acceptable

[cazzz1975]

urgh gravy on chips?? I prefer an eyewatering amount of salt & vinegar on mine

[China Doll]

I can't drink a large cup of coffee if I sit in Starbucks but I can drink a large coffee in a take out cardboard cup.... I'm sure it must be the same amount. Weird.

[snags]

Maybe that's because you'd had a massive cup of tea 15 minutes before with your full english?

[China Doll]

Oh yeah... I hadn't actually thought of that....
