Ringing the Changes

According to the Scotsman, one in five pub-goers shows up for a cappucinno or some other exotic coffee rather than a civilised pint.

God, times have changed. I remember when if you ordered a cup of coffee in a pub you'd either get a blank stare or, at best, some fizzy Nescafe horror that just layed their and curdled. Now things are going so far in the other direction that if they allowed smoking in pubs again the place would suddenly be filled with disaffected French would-be intellectuals going on about Sartre before you could say "knife."
