    Not the Nespresso ones - they are aluminium and fully recyclable

    Bean to cup is too much like hardwork - Nespresso machine with genuine nespresso pods is the way to go
    depending on the pods you can get a great expresso Cappuchino or Latte - but I am afraid I use cows milk none of this vegetarian substitues

    Edit - just seen Lokos post - the compostable ones seem an even better idea

    Let me know if you need a reference to Laithwaites wine deliveries... I have a very knowledgeable advisor who will give you a cracking first deal on 12 bottles of your favourite wines.

    In terms of golf lessons I’d just look on Youtube and go to the driving rang , Sagutogolf , Golf SideKick , Matt Fryer , Mark Crossfield and of course Paige Spiranac , there’s loads of golf pro’s on line For beginners to low handicappers .

    Getting there my eye. A few years ago one of my wife's friends from down south came to stay for a few days. She brought her stuff in from the car and I asked her if she'd like a tea or coffee. She asked for an Earl Grey, decaf if I'd got it, with just a splash of goats milk.

    When I explained that the only ingredient I had towards that beverage was tap water, she was mildly surprised I couldn't deliver on the tea or milk and genuinely horrified that I intended to use unfiltered tap water.

    Speaking as someone who has, at one point in his life delivered milk......don't do it. It's much fresher from the supermarket.
    Speaking as someone who's played a hell of a lot of golf....if you want to spend a fair wad of money to be average..go for it.

    My coffee machine is called a kettle
    It's reight versatile as it can also make tea and Horlicks-can your fancy Italian thing do that?
    I am also very knowledgeable about any type of wine-I know how to get the cork out-all you need to know
    As for golf, I've only ever played once, when after repeated attempts to hit the ball and only digging a trench around the damn thing, my mate kindly suggested I take up ditch digging as a profession and would I mind collecting up all the lumps of turf so the groundsman could replace them?
    Snob
    So I think I am probably lower middle class now, which is not bad for a Grimey lad :p

    Coffee machines? Tools of the riff-raff! No, no; you want to hand grind your beans with a mortar and pestle then cold brew your coffee overnight.
