LingoLatte
The discerning british public, traditionally, enjoy a nice cuppa. Not cappo, cuppa. Tea. Starbucks etc. have done us in though and brought in coffee bars everywhere. For some reason we like to use Italian words to espresso our types of coffee. And we do like Italian food, Italian delicatessans, and Italian restaurants. Apparently the women like Italian men, and I've heard that if you laid all the English girls in Rome end to end, and they probably have been etc. And of course I still lust after an Italian car.
[NB: If you click the Italian car link it takes you to www.ferrari.it. This may not work for you if you have pop-ups suppressed using Google or similar software - You just get a blank screen like I did. I'm amazed by this.]
Anyway, notwithstanding that preamble, you'd think that in South Molton Street, scene of many Campaign for Unobstructed Pedestrianism incidents, which a fairly upmarket street, they could at least spell the word correctly. Or maybe they are appealing to the Sloanes? Ok yah!
fish coffee. mmm. my favourite
