Yep, as of 2015, there are 842 Starbucks stores in the UK.

I recommend Union coffee (you can order from Abel & Cole if not in London).  Far better than Starbucks IMO.

There is not a Starbucks in my town.  ;D  I actually love that I live somewhere that Starbucks has not taken over.

There's not one in my town either, but there is a Costa.  Much of a muchness.

Hairbrushes.....I go through one a month, when was normally 2 a year.

How do you 'go through' so many hairbrushes?  I've had the same one for several years and it isn't showing any signs of wear.  I just give it a good wash occasionally.

Back before I moved to nyc, I had the same hairbrush for years, I lost it in the move. Then they never lasted more than 6 months. Here they are less sturdy. I think the constant blow drying of curly hair doesn't help.

I must admit a weakness for Costa's flat white. Something about it.
I just hope that more people will ignore the fatalism of the argument that we are beyond repair. We are not beyond repair. We are never beyond repair. - AOC

I see... I don't blow-dry, so that's probably the difference.
