Costa lot

[stevewool]

Yesterday we had a rush on for a same day delivery up to Spennymoor near Durham ,
There is nothing better then leaving in rush hour to get anywhere these days , but driving from Derby all the way up there in a old lorry well the only i thought i could make the time go quicker was to take Emma with me.
So of we went at 3-45pm to travel the 150 miles plus,
What a beautiful day it was sun shinning and a steady 54mph, that speed you can talk and admire the countryside around you and the views , we do live a beautiful place once you get out onto the open road,
Anyway up we went and did the delivery and set of back , just managed to get back to Wetherby to the service station to have my drivers break,
In we went and being a tight git , i asked Emma what would she like , Chicken chips and gravy with a side order of salad too, well all that for £5.99p , i thought that was a bargin , to drink well here comes the crunch , 1 cool shake and 1 medium coffee from costa, £7.20p, and the coffee is not the greatest tasting in my eyes , but it was a treat for my cab mate ,
Bloody costa lot, will get it all back from the gaffa though , but dont tell Ems

I know Spennymoor well Steve.... as I used to rent a farm cottage about 10 miles from there.

Also know the Wetherby Services well... and the 'Costa a lot' place there.

One of the reasons I always took a big pack-up and flask with me when wandering the country with my work. (Still do whenever I'm away from the house for more than a few hours).

No way am I going to pay those ridiculous prices.

Thats what we would have done , but it was a rush job, so Emma did not have time , plus like i said it was a treat for us both to be together and having dinner paid for too,

I can't stand coffee. But I am amazed why people pay those prices when you can buy a great big jar of coffee for the same price

Prefer tea but I don't mind coffee. Won't pay more than £1.50 from a shop for either though.

Yeah, but can you even buy a cup of instant coffee anywhere now ? It all seems to be that 'posh' percolated/filtered stuff... which I find tastes orrible anyway... without having to pay an arm and a leg for the stuff.

I just want some caffeine in a warm drink.

[stevewool]

A normal coffee i ask for, they then say a Americana , i say is that coffee with milk, yes they say, well thats what i want a normal cup of coffee,
Then the next test is , what size

[grahamw48]

Next time Steve...I'm right next to the A1/M1/M62 interchange.

Pop round and I'll brew you a couple of nice cups of Aldi's finest, for only a quid each.

Thats some busy junction there Graham, if you take your eyes off the road a split second, you have to travel a long way just to get back where you started, so next time i will take you up on that fine offer
