British Expats - Pet Peeves?

I suppose I should have just said a Zwanzig, since I assume the '20' refers to 20 oz (or a Sechszehn if you're going with an American 'pint') but it felt more fun, and infinitely more German, to go with milliliters instead.

I suspect I would come closer to being able to pronounce it the more I drank.

Eventually all my words sound like that.

If Latin taught me anything (and probably French) I am going to guess it's Italian for 20.

Roughly translated it means 'give me your biggest fing coffee post haste Mr/Ms Barista'.

If it's really 20oz, you can get bigger (and cheaper) ones at the garage, I think :lol:

The last time I got coffee at the garage, I think it was 89c. Granted, that was in 2007, but you can still get a slushee at Thornton's for 69c, so I doubt that's changed much.

Eggnog latte's have been discussed on this forum before, so I know I'm not alone on it. I suggest you try and then let me know how much it changed your life for the better (You're welcome) :lol:.

I had my first eggnog latte of the season today even though they have been available for a few weeks now. At least they didn't try to discontinue them this year :blink:

Peets sell small , medium and large and didn't try to discontinue eggnog lattes. Still over priced, but taste better than StarFcks.
