Have you considered just not drinking coffee, since you don't seem to actually like it?
I was talking about how others seem to pile the stuff with sugar, I didn't make that clear, I know. I mean, why drink it if you need to alter its taste? I personally am ok with Coffee, although it can make my head all muzzy, so I only drink it when I actually want to drink it.
Hill.... ARIOUS!! I meant Latte.
THAT SAID, oddly enough, it was Luke warm, which seemed to be the thing to do so that people could drink it quickly and get back to their seats (people were all standing about drinking it like in a bar before handing the cup back to the guy serving who put it in the bin (I hope!)).
There's always one, isn't there?

Last year I employed a plumber to fit a new boiler, when I asked him if he wanted cash or cheque, he said "can I not just email you my bank details, you can do a transfer"?

People who prefix a reply to a question with perfectly opposite responses. Most noticeable on radio or TV but in fact it happens more frequently in general conversation.
eg:
Interviewer ...........''Mr sporty, that was an impressive performance. Do you feel you have settled well into your new role within the team?''
Mr Sporty ..........''Yeah, no, it's going quite well so far and the boss is happy with me''

To be honest, I do that sometimes. I think I would rationalise it as the 'yeah' meaning, "I've understood you", rather than "I agree with you". But I'm not sure what the 'no' means, even though I say it.

Nothing to be embarrassed about, if people want to take everything they hear quite litterally, then let them all jump off a cliff!

What’s the point
Last year I employed a plumber to fit a new boiler, when I asked him if he wanted cash or cheque, he said "can I not just email you my bank details, you can do a transfer"?
thats down to the assumption of a lot of people that cash payments mean you avoid taxation. even though it doesn't. that said doing a direct transfer is brilliant and easy

Indeed, if we all simply used the minimum number of words necessary to express ourselves, it would be a quiet world, and the whole of CycleChat would fit on a sheet of A4.
