Well played.
Note to self find single serving Starbucks next time. Pete's friend/cow-orker came back from the shit and his first words were, "Thanks for the coffee."

I left photographing the street banner too late. They've taken it down. It was for Luwak coffee and the advertising line was "the most expensive coffee in the world"...don't think the marketing department had thought that one through too well.

I could really go for some over-hyped coffee right now.

I dunno... Stella Artois ran their "Reassuringly expensive" ads for years. It convinced me - I thought it was an upmarket lager. I was horrified when I found out my favourite tipple was generally called Wifebeater.

Stella Artois has only become commonly available on the Australian market in the last 5-10 years and being European, as far as I know, it's in the upmarket category. Tell me more about the wife beater thing.

Because it has a higher alcoholic rating than most lagers it has earned the name 'wifebeater'.
As in, I'll have a pint of the old Wifebeaters please.

Can't see that particular ordering phrase being used in the upmarket pubs where Stella is served in Australia, but as George said in the last series of BlackAdder "well, cover me with eggs and flour and bake me for 40 minutes."

It's not something I'd say at the bar when ordering, I'd just ask for a pint of Stella. But if a mate asked me what I wanted to drink, I might say, a pint of wifebeaters. Said mate would then go and order a pint of Stella :p
