Travelling in the United Kingdom, one really must remember that they do many things in a strange and unusual way. Like coffee.Londoners have yet to embrace the broad swathe of coffee culture, and as such have not yet introduced the "Flat White" to their considerable menu. Don't do what I did and ask for a "Flat White", as this only serves to confuse, and you are likely to receive almost anything. In my case (at Starbucks), when I asked for a "Flat White", I received a "Long Black". Ah yes, simple to understand to the cultured Australian ear, but to the British, it is just a series of grunts and gestures.
(apologies to my British friends, of course when I say "British" I really mean "all the Brits except my British friends whom I really love and cherish")
