So as *bucks don't seem to have achieved global domination - at least in LUG terms (and what else matters? ;-) ) why don't we do what people seem to want which is to do a general coffee shop sort of thing. After all the "Starbucks" conversation did broaden out to a generic discussion about how to make good coffee and whatever they say STarbucks don't have the monopoly on that. So: Any cafe, anywhere you are; taken on a Leica of course; one favourite pic each; state whether it is manipulated - we know who will provide flying barristas :-) ; within a month of some agreed start date; give location;tech details if you want; comments on the coffee are not excluded! NOW any takers!!!??? Peter BTW Mine's an MP - oh, and a side of D2 ;-) B. D. Colen wrote: > Gooooood luck!
