I Love Hot Chocolate

Those of you who know me will be familiar with my rants about corporate coffee house chains. However, I've just had a lovely hot chocolate in Costa's on the way back from a business trip so I feel that I'm ahead at last. Why, though, do they insist on giving you saucers with an off centre base? It ruins my damn equilibrium. I'm going for a lie down...

Room for the marshmallows and a spoon to eat the squirty cream that should be on top!

Ahhh, but that is where you are wrong, Mrs N! Whenever they ask if I would like cream and marshmallows I always flash them a disdainful, old fashioned look and say, "No thank you." It makes me feel very self-righteous.

@Curiosity: but then you're missing out on the marshmallows and cream!

@Curiosity: mmmmmmmm cake 😊🍰

I know, I'm busted. I weakened at the last second and had to have a word with myself.

@Curiosity: I order the cake first!

SW-User

@MrsNesbitt: now that's a red card!

@Curiosity: 😜 I'm unrepentant.

What really hacked me off was that I only really wanted a pee. However, at service areas, you have to go past Macky Ds, Greggs, Costas, M&S Foods and KFC to get to the bogs. Then the little voice says to you, "Go on...you know you want to." Brilliant psychological manipulation. I know what they are doing but I still fall for it.
