I was off work with Tonsillitis for a month & it did very strange things to my taste buds. I've always been
really sweet toothed, but by the time I was well again I'd lost the taste for my favourite Diet Coke completely. Still got a few cans in the fridge but it just tastes like fizzy water now. I'm sure I was addicted to something in it
-caffeine or sweeteners or whatever. Always loved sweets & chocolate but only eating a fraction of what I was now. I buy it & it just doesn't taste as good as it used to.
No offence to your new-found sophisticated palette Janie, but I bloomin'
hate coffee shops! Some floppy haired teenager, desperately trying to be trendy, taking 10 minutes of buggering about to make half a thimbleful of froth, then charging you 4 quid for it. Would you like a rock hard, completely inedible sliver of biscuit with that? That'll be another 3 quid please.
Utterly pretentious twaddle. Give me a big ol' mug o' tea in a proper cafe any day.
