I admit that I have never had a "bad" coffee in Timmy's. I've also never had a good one. It's insipid. Mediocre. Weak. I haven't been into a TH for a while. Mainly because we haven't done a trip on the 401 for a while and it's easier for me to find a toilet somewhere else. No churchill....... :D I was in victoria and have a friend who runs a TH here and even with the long line-ups I have seen coffee dumped down the sink - I was amazed and ask my friend about it....and that's what he said....go figure! ;) |

Remember, Krispy Cream crashed and burned when they tried to expand into Canada. |

Marmbits, perhaps. Doesn't excuse the coffee, though. |

:beer: Based on the prices of Starbucks etc ( I know their coffee is good) but at £2.75 for a large, I will save thousands a year! Based on that reason only, I could financially justify moving to Canada! :) :D |
