Re: Stop! Wait! No need to leave UK...
Yup! You're an addict. If you go to the one in Gan then you're probably a gambling addict too.
Definately agree with you there but I DO avoid the one in Gan. Gambling...no, no, no!
But I have 2 minimum criteria when driving through small town Ontario to determine their level of civilization. They should have
1) A Legion (for beer)
Yep, one in Westport...
2 A timmies (for all kinds of stuff especially donuts, chili & icecap in the summer).
Have to go to Perth for that...
Maybe good advice for those on a reccie trip !

I'm sorry but I just cannot understand the fascination of Tim Horton's, with the exception of the word 'cheap'..
The coffee is disgusting dish water, the sandwiches are awful and the doughnuts too sweet.
So seeing all this gusto towards it as if its some great treat is quite incomprehensible to me.
Decent coffee's come from Starbucks, etc, the companies that have proper coffee machines.
I even much prefer Williams Coffee Pub's to Tim Horton's any day of the week.

A place is only truly civilised if it has a caribou coffee, unfortunately this rules out canada,
Timmies is cheap and not very cheerful, and as for ingrained in the psyche - he was still playing hockey in the 60's and hadnt even dreamt of flogging coffee to the masses yet. And dont get me started on the service you get from the spotty students!!
rant over: as you were
