Re: I hear we have a Starbucks?

I might have known you'd be a sucker for the faceless, corporate brands that are ruining our towns, Cyfr.

To quote from one of my favourite sites Classic Cafes | London's vintage Formica caffs!

"The big coffee corporations won't rest until every British high street is turned into a branded mall pushing their wares.

This brutal Starbucking of our towns is leading to the wholesale erasure of British vernacular retail architecture."

Next time you go down the smoke, I suggest you go for a brew and a bite to eat at the mighty E.Pellicci's in Bethnal Green. As Tealeaf will probably agree, it's an experience not to be missed!
