SI've never been in a Starbucks, which I think is some kind of achievement. I've been into Costa and asked for a cup of tea, which provoked a look of mild astonishment. Anyway, socialists don't drink coffee, they're like Tony Benn who has a cup of tea on the hour every hour. Maybe I will write about pubs which I have known. Best pub in England, by the way, is The Windmill in Whiteley Green in Cheshire. But don't all flock there and ruin the ambience.
