Exactly, and no matter how many new coffee shops open up around here,
they are _always_ full. It will be interesting to see the affect the
smoking ban has on this, i.e. pubs may become just as 'acceptable' a
place to go for a coffee as a tipple, and their coffee is generally
cheaper, and improving in quality. Wetherspoons does OK coffee, for
example, and charges a fraction of at the coffee outlets do.
