Anyone here from England? Curious, do you think this is funny?

I got a chuckle out of it, but wondering what do you think?

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

All I know is that I could not get a good cup of coffee when I was there. Cafe Americano should not be an esspresso with a bunch of added steamed water.

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

Or the Nescafe they sell in those kiosks at the train station.  Yuk.

I read that Dunkin Donuts is opening up stores in the London area.

Unfortunately I was at a Dunkin Donut in Paddington Station when I got the offending cup o'joe. The problem is that they don't make a pot of drip brew...you don't miss it until you can't get it.

I'm not from England, but find it hilarious. But I also find Mr. Bean hilarious.

I'm English, it's a pretty good cartoon, not hilarious but raised a smile. As much as I love tea (has to be Yorkshire Tea though) it takes a big cup of coffee to get my arse into gear. If I'm tired, tea just doesn't have enough oomph on those days

On my first trip to England, I stayed at The Gloucester Hotel near Hyde Park.  I was looking forward to having some real English tea.  When I requested a cup, they brought over a box with the same damn Twining's we have here in the supermarkets in the Boston area.  Major disappointment!

Hotels aren't great for tea in my experience, you need a proper tea room really, preferably in Yorkshire, but there are some great places in Cornwall too (clotted cream tea ftw).

Amusing, in a way. As for coffee, almost always smells better than it tastes. Espresso or nothing for me on the coffee front.

Sounds like you were done. Twinings source good tea....but not in those damned tea bags. I would have thought a hotel like that would have made it axiomatic to have served a variety of loose leaf teas.

You'd better update the Wikipedia page then: :-)

" Caffè Americano , or Americano (English: American coffee) is a style of coffee prepared by adding hot water to espresso ..."

Seriously though, I was always under the impression that's what an Americano was. What do you think it is if not that?

I'm the same way. Coffee beans are one of my favorite smells in the world but I can't stand the drink. Every now and then I'll gulp down an espresso, but only very rarely.

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
