    That sit in cafe's all day doing 'work' with a brew & a laptop?

    If I wanted to join their gang for a day in Town centre where would I go? I know Number 7 has free WiFi but I reckon by my 3rd presentation I'll be f.cking battered.

    Pubs sell soft drinks too dys, or does the stigma and finger pointing bother you?

    These days one is supposed to refer to them as "non-alcoholic" drinks. It has less of a stigma attached.

    Properly laughing at this as I'm sitting in Cafe Nero in Manchester.

    Wouldn't you be better off in a coffee shop, you silly sod?

    F.cking hell fire.

    There's only Costa in Town, I don't like coffee and I'm saving for a wedding so can't afford £3 a brew. You posh get.

    I really don't understand coffee shop culture. I enjoy a coffee as much as the next man so I go in, order my double espresso, drink it and then what? Sit there for an hour playing around on some mobile device until I feel like ordering another one? It's just wrong.

    PS - the fact you refer to any establishment that sells hot drinks as a coffee shop & not a cafe makes you a class traitor.

    The gret ****** drinks cider. "I don't like beer" he once said to me. So I beat him up. It was the only rational response I could think of.

    To be fair, I misjudged how quick you'd be for a man with a haircut like that.

    I thought you were supposed to be semi French? Take a leaf out of your compatriots book, I've seen them in bars in paris making half a kronenbourg last four and a half hours....

    You take that back!

    Anyway, those people in Paris aren't really French. They're Parisian.

    Wait till I start telling you that people from Barnsley have no ambition, town centre is a dump etc...

    Anyway, I'm off, this quinoa isn't going to steam itself...
