For Marnie...

Hi Marnie - I had to think of you when I saw this coffee shop.First one in England - 1650 - you'd think they'd give you a pretty good cup after all that practice.... @golftragic

Thanks for thinking of me Rob, did you indulge in High Tea? You may, or may not know but coffee houses were very important meeting places in the 17th century.

My the staff there must be very old and very tired having served high tea since 1650!

@golftragic Hi Marnie - we were a bit short on time so had to keep moving on. I think there is more toe coffee shops than meets the eye!? :)

@robz Oh yes, in Britain they were social hubs for the exchange of all sorts of information and places to read newspapers, pamphlets etc back in the day.
