We bring Yorkshire leaf tea over. Makes a perfect cuppa but must be made with bottled water where we are in Oliva and "fresh" not uht milk.

Having since a kid watching films thought well theres a bonus be good coffee, wrong worst coffee I have ever had and as there for there instant coffee yuk.

I once watched the worst English bar owner I have ever come across here in Spain. He had already turned what had been a successful Spanish restaurant into a doss house serving nothing but English breakfasts of the poorest quality.

I watched him serve coffee to three Scandinavian ladies, who soon complained about the horrible taste. He came up to them and stroppily explained, 'What more can I do? I put the coffee in the cups and pour on the water.'

To save money, the clown had switched off the coffee machine and was using Lidl coffee with a grubby plastic kettle for the water.

He's gone skint long ago.
