BBC NEWS | Business | Sodexho hit by British shortfall (#)
„Not enough vigilance Sodexho,which operates in the same market as catering group Compass, said: "Serious errors of management as well as accounting anomalies" in its British operations had been discovered and that this would set its objectives back by a year in the UK. The company also criticised its UK auditors, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, which it said "have not been sufficiently vigilant." Sodexho's warning spooked investors its UK rival Compass, whose brands include Little Chef and Ritazza coffee bars. Its shares fell 10% in early trade on the back of the warning before recovering to a 2% fall by the end of the day. Analysts said they had been aware of the accounting problems in Britain but had not been expecting a profit warning.They now fear more bad news.“

„"I don't know if (coffee says anything about personality) but the people themselves might think so which is perhaps the only thing that matters," he said. "I guess I'm not a man's man, I don't drink it black." If it's really good coffee he'll try drinking it straight up but usually Mr. Sullivan unabashedly adds cream. Cream or sugar are acceptable, even expected, in Canada but coffee drinkers should be careful.“

So, You Love Coffee, Right?? (INeedCoffee.com)
„I used to go through something to the effect of four pots of coffee a day. I cut back after my cardiologist said that my poor body has taken all of the caffeine it can take for a grown man – at 38 years of age. I resisted his plea for me to stop drinking coffee altogether, though.“

My cup runneth Down Under - coffeecrew.com - victoria, b.c. canada
„That all said... wow. I'm not sure I've ever seen a town where the entire economy seems to be based so totally around good food, good books, good coffee, and occasional fits of modern dance. I didn't expect a river town to be so lovely, but then I grew up in 1970s Cleveland, where the polluted river itself once actually caught fire. But I haven't had a bad meal or a bad cup since I got here, whether it was in a Thai place in Fitzroy, the Italian joint in Carlton, or the family-run Vietnamese/Chinese fusion restaurant in Richmond.“
