It’s shut!!!<\/p>\n
The Coffee Trader in town has shut!!!!!<\/p>\n
Put out of business, I suspect, by Costa Coffee, the wonderful factory churned out, plastic, franchised bastard place just opposite.<\/p>\n
Now, why is this so important to me, I hear you ask? Why am I so upset about a company that is obsessed with toasting everything under the sun, as well as the sun itself?<\/p>\n
Simple. As some may know, I have…’trouble’ going into town…I don;t like crowds – or, infact, people in general, and get very anxious etc. However, I’ve been determined to fight that problem and the Coffee Trader was my way of doing it. If I had to go into town I would, instead of running off home, force myself to pop upstairs, have a latte and possibly a sarnie. Forcing myself to stay by people, just slightly removed from them, to an extent. It was great. I could read the Independant in comfort and generally not have to worry.<\/p>\n
And now it’s gone. I tried looking around town for somewhere that may suffice as a replacement but there really is nowhere like it.<\/p>\n
I’m right narked over this, I really am. Mr and Mrs Crawley Chav are more then happy to use the tanning salon to top up their fake orangeness, but they see Costa Coffee and think ‘Ooh, look! That must be upmarket, Ive heard of that – they have it in london, innit.’<\/p>\n
