My local coffee shop

they've got more character, haven't they, Plant. I think most of them are the realisation of a dream for their owners and they're going to work hard to make it welcoming and pleasant.

We have a great coffee shop locally. Many of us meet there, and maybe just call in when passing. A while ago the dreaded Costa coffee opened a few doors up. There was speculation as to whether it would harm trade. It hasn't. There seem to be enough customers to go round I'm pleased to say.

We all petitioned against Costa in our village, GM, because of our independent coffee shops. Luckily they seem to thrive despite it, and the teenagers like the Costa.
