tina we salute you ( in a grumpy mood )

i swerved over to tina we salute you this morning in search of coffee.

i kicked things off with a flat white

good start.

then i noticed that they did porridge... with bananas and cinnamon.

i ordered up a bowl

it was unbelievable. right up there with the best.

after this there was only one thing to do... order up another flat white

and here it is

i mainly stared out of the window keeping an eye on my jam-jar because the inside of tina we salute you was... well... it was full of people getting on my nerves.

it's hard to explain. perhaps you had to be there ?

it was like this...





i know it doesn't look bad. perhaps you had to see it in action ? or to hear the noise ?

in an ideal world the place would be empty apart from me sitting in the corner
looking moody drinking good coffee.

in reality it was full ( before i took this shot ) of bearded stoke newy blokes on laptops
and 4 or 5 mums with babies and toddlers, filling the place with buggies as big as
range-rovers.
the mums then chatted extremely loudly to each about courses they are about to enrol in at college, or shouted into their iphones at their home helps while ignoring their kiddies and letting them run riot all over the place knocking things over tripping over each others buggies and crying loudly.

the coffee and food at t.w.s.y. is magic darts.
next time i visit though i'm taking my headphones.
