What would happen if you simply ordered hot water and then produced a tea-bag from your pocket at the table?

I've never really watched Dave Gorman. I had him in the pretentious tosser type comedian category along with Russell Howard and Ricky Gervais.

Unlike Russell Howard, although my grandchildren think he’s really funny. On the subject of Ricky Gervaise I was drawn to Afterlife on Netflix and have recommended it to many people who are absolutely not fans of his work. They have all come back to thank me.

I've had some great recommendations for stuff to check out recently, notably Chernobyl on Sky and the book Sapiens so I will give Afterlife a whirl but I may refuse to like it.

When my friend Span & I toured the states in the early 90s we took a kettle with us. It was the only way to get a decent cuppa. Click to see full-size image. |

Ralph and I were travelling to a poker venue (Luton perhaps) when he suddenly announced, I'm starving!"
"Me too" I replied enthusiastically, visions of Little Chef or Toby Carvery swirling around in my brain.
At this point he pulled into a lay-by, ate half a dried fig and drove on.
(In fairness to him, he did offer me the other half)

... Mind you, it must be horrible for Yanks in the UK trying to get a decent cup of coffee.
The vast majority of the coffee I've bought in the US has been awful (to be fair a small sample size because I've only been to New York, Las Vegas and Nashville). It's okay in coffee shops and anywhere that uses espresso machines - because it's freshly made. But so many places use pots of coffee on a hot plate which makes the coffee taste awful about 10 minutes after it's been made. One hotel I stayed at in New York had pastries and coffee to help yourself to in the lobby every morning. Every morning I'd take 1 or 2 or 10 pastries and a cup of coffee, but throw the coffee away after a couple of sips because it tasted so bad (I had to do it every day because... free).
