Yes - we've been assimilated. Resistance had proved to be futile. The Starbucks plague has been over here for about 3 or 4 years. Just recently they even opened one up in my old home town - Hereford ( as in the place where the cattle come from, for those who know their cow) a small, sleepy market town in the west of England on the boarder with Wales.
I don't live there any more and these days use it a gauge for the spread of globalisation - if it's reached Hereford then things must be bad !( or good, depending on your view point and if you like coffee.)
Trouble is, I LOVE Starbucks lattes. I've tried loads of other places but I still prefer the Starbucks stuff. My BF and I try and balance it out by only going every other coffee and going to Costa Coffee instead for their Fair Trade coffee beans.
PS Bring on the decaf Earl Grey - it's my drink of choice at home. PPS Bring on Jean Luc -mmmm what a great voice.
