Coffee Shop Boffins Make Amazing Discovery.

I go into a coffee shop to enjoy myself. I will stop going in if the coffee is no good. If I ask another customer in the coffee shop if I can borrow their newspaper, I can get a warm response, or get the cold shoulder.

When I order my coffee, select my seat, occupy the table, then leave, I have performed a feat of skilful organisation.

How do I know all this?

Because researchers from Glasgow University have just spent three years, and £140,000 to tell me.

Thanks for that, guys - and thanks too for spending my money so sensibly.

Uncanny! What did they say about non-coffee-drinkers like myself?

I'm sure Times readers would rather the money was spent on keeping the royal family afloat...relevance is relative...(-;

Thanks Sarkasmo. Non-coffee drinkers? Not a mention - probably ran out of money before they could get round to that.

Jez, thanks. Royal family? When does the revolution begin, and where's the wall with the best dawn light?
