I have just seen them going in to Costa Coffee in headingly, surely we have not been linked with those 2???

Its where all the deals are done so yes, its a done deal.

Keep an eye open for Senior and Thomas arriving for coffee this morning...

Can't see how Fielden would fit into our set up. We're hardly struggling for props or second rowers. Purdham even more so - unless Sinfield to 6 is to become a permanent move

Must have missed Brian Noble, eh?

He was in Costa as well.

Maybe they went for coffee?

Different coffee cliques eh? Is he a starbucks man?

Elvis Presley has just joined them.

I prefer Costa to Starbucks myself. Generally I prefer a normal cafe if there's a suitable one nearby, but when in strange city centres, sometimes such places are just more convenient. Plus I like decent coffee, and as much as I'd like to deride the whole corporate thing, the coffee in Costa isn't actually too bad. I've had much worse in France and Italy, where they apparently take coffee very seriously.

Now, on the subject of cake.....

Now I know you're lying.

He only likes Caffe Nero.

coffee at costa and starbuck is like sex in prison. you know you are going to get it but it will be rough

At a coffee shop?

Those with a long memory for ephemera will recall my observation of Stuart Fielden buying a coffee maker at the Leeds branch of Debenhams.
He is therefore in a position to make his own coffee.

Mind you, that was when there was discussion about whether he was en-route for Oz and I opined that it was unlikely as I didn't think the warranty would remain valid abroad.
And that must have been ages ago, he was still at Bradford then and could still play a bit.

Anyway, Purdham is going home to Cumberland to run the farm.
