Have you become the old person who sits at McDonalds with their coffee?

I seem to have become that person. I can make tea at home but I like to change scenery sometimes. When it gets warmer I like to stop for tea drive to the waterfront park and watch the sunrise. It's me and the other old folk at that hour.

Not McDonald's, but I do go to cafes a couple of times a week. I generally have coffee though. At home I drink tea.

I'm in that same age range but I don't think of myself as old.

@unsociableAnthony Once in a while (once a year perhaps) I do stop at a McDonald's to use their Wi-Fi when I'm travelling through Northern Europe on my way from Norway to the UK. The coffee is usually bearable and that's pretty much all I have. Another reason for stopping there is the multilingual ordering screens which saves me the bother of trying to use my rudimentary French or German to order and risking getting something I didn't want when all I really want is the Wi-Fi.

But usually I time my journey so that I can either stop at IKEA or find some local cafe that will be worth putting a little effort into communication. I recommend Herby's Coffee Bar in Koblenz.
