The best coffee Mrs R from Afar and I have ever had was at a small, family owned hotel in southern Sardinia. The formidable and inscrutable matriarch who presided over the establishment ran a tight ship and told you what to do and where to sit, but the food was excellent, the prices low and the coffee out of this world, although strictly limited to one cup per person.
The best coffee we've had in the UK was at the cafe at River Cottage HQ, near Lyme Regis.
I usually start the day with breakfast tea, skimmed milk, no sugar, and have green tea in the early evening, but coffee is my drug of choice.
I really rate Lavazza instant coffee but the Siemens bean grinding coffee machine we used to have at work produced fabulous drinks .
Your frame is very similar to mine, then, mine is made of 531 ST. The frame was built by Nigel Dean and is a Great Escapist, marketed by The Bicycle Chain group of cycle shops.
Having been made in 1988, it recently got to the point where the original (banana yellow) paintwork was flaking off so I had the frame refurbished - in midnight blue - by Argos Cycles, a frame repair specialist, based in Bristol. They did an utterly amazing job .
There was also "Nipper," about an urchin who turned out to be an amazing footballer, and "Football Family Robinson," in which all the players as well as the coaching staff were members of the same family. The manager was a formidable matriarch called Ma; she was a bit like Ena Sharples, except she could organise a defence. There was also "Rod and line,' about a young lad who was trying to become a top class angler.
"Roy of the Rovers" featured a story - "Millionaire Villa" - in which a rich bloke bought a struggling football club, with a condition of the purchase being that the purchaser would actually play in the team. I used to worry that the story would give Flavio ideas .
