Default This sucks!!!!! Please help....

Ok.... here's an Email I recieved today, and it really sucks.......

Was treated to a starbucks the other day and was very dissapointed to find they do not have Toffee nut lattes here in the UK..... Today was a quiet chill out after unpacking day so being bored I Emailed Starbucks.....

Here is their reply.......

12 August 2004

Dear Honeymommy......

Thank you for taking the time to contact Starbucks Coffee Company
following your enquiry. It is always a sincere pleasure to hear from our
loyal customers!

Unfortunately we have no plans to sell the Toffee Nut syrup in the UK
in the near future. However I will pass your comments on to the
Marketing Department as all customer feedback is appreciated and noted.

I have checked with our U.S team and unfortunately we do not offer a
mail order service through their U.S website. I am sorry we could not
help you on this occasion, should you have any further questions, please
contact us again.

We appreciate you contacting us and look forward to welcoming you back
soon to your local Starbucks.

Yours sincerely


Customer Care Specialist

No Mail order either!!!!! Sheesh.......

So here's a suggestion.... everyone Email starbucks and ask for toffeenut syrup and a Mail order site......
I have few treats, but this is one I love occasionally.....


So who's going to help a Honeymommy in distress??????

It is a real earth shaking show stopper situation. Right up there with no access to "Friends" or Martha Stewart.

Toffeenut latte in the USA was my bog standard cup of coffee I'll have you know young lady of the lake......

I just worked out if I buy a british toffee syrup and a hazelnut syrup, and mix it I may have a chance at that little bit of starbucks tranquility....... Well as close as I can here in tea land.......

It all sounds perfectly disgusting and probably another reason why USA is so full of lard arses? How much sugar in one of those so-called 'coffees'?

I've never tried toffeenut latte but my 21 year old daughter in the UK sent me a blimmin marvelous bath bombe from LUSH to try out and I have to say its the best bath I've ever had in my life -ok you can't drink it but it certainly makes you feel good. If you've never tried them go to www.lush.com - they really are nice. Meanwhile I'm on the look out for toffeenut lattes... - anything that makes you feel good has to be a bonus. Take care.

We've got LUSH here in Oz, and my ex-girlfriend once bought me one. I have to say it did absolutely nothing whatsoever for me. Just sort of fizzed a little bit (in a pathetic, rather than spectacular fashion) and slowly half dissolved, then just sat at the bottom of the bath going gradually mushier!

Not my idea of luxury, but whatever floats yer boat as they say!
