Although am mainly a tea drinker [after dinner coffee an exception] Mr L complains that if he orders a latte or cappuccino when out and about mid morning, he never knows what size cup will be given.We go to mainly independent places, and they vary wildly, a 'small' in one place is medium in others, and large could mean a fairly normal cup through to a mug size or a small bucket!

A really nice cappuccino and a Welsh cake is a great treat in our independent coffee shop in town or in the cafe in our local park.

I so agree about these soulless chains. I love an old fashioned tea room!
