I have some slight problems, but that is mainly down to not drinking enough water to counteract the PG in the juice
I still need to be careful about inhaling much, and like you, I need to drink more water (with something to give it a bit of flavour ...Roses lime juice) :)

I use Robinsons Orange squash or their Apple & Blackcurrant, always keep a glass by the computer, trouble is I now spend a lot of time in the cafe, so drink Cappuccino or Latte a lot, which doesn't contain much water.

thanks Terry - bookmarked! ...tried anything new recently?
TBH i think it`s better than ejuice me up trish, less fiddling. Not tried any new ones yet, but my Blue Lush is ready when a tank is available, very soon now, and i made some Apple Pie & Irish Custard last week so i`m looking forward to that as well :) Reviews will be posted as always !!

Nice one Terry,added to favorites and old one deleted :thumb:



Are you involved in the business Bob? I'm just being nosey mate :laugh:
I help out if they get busy and help with things that they may have difficulties with, they have learnt a lot from me :laugh:, sometimes they want me to actually do paid work, when they are short handed and I get my drinks cheaper than normal. They are in the process of getting another cafe opened in Streatham, just waiting for the keys and then they can start installing everything - downside to that is that they are taking the best assistant from the Camberwell cafe (a young slovakian lady - who always gets me plastered on vodka shots when we have a party, which is quite often), upside is that they are replacing her with a young czech lady, who already has knowledge of the barista side, but may need my help on the vape side :)

PS I know nothing of the barista side of the business except for drinking the stuff :laugh:
PPS Off to Santorini for 4 nights at the end of July - the youngest of the 3 owners is getting married to the owner of the beauty salon next door, she's cypriot, I get a discount there as well if I want a Pedi & Mani :laugh:

And Vodka side,by the sounds of it.

Sounds great Bob.
We'll have to see about the Vodka bit, I hope she prefers it watered down rather than shots, they're great lads, 2 brothers from Crete and the other partner is from Cyprus, one of the brothers is more of a sleeping partner because he also drives a bus for TfL, the other brother is the one that is getting married, he'll be running the Streatham cafe mainly.

Streatham

A good friends mother lived in Streatham.I stayed there for a night on my way to Dover.
When we got up in the morning for the ferry(4 am) there were several foxes running around in the street,after the wheelie bins i suppose.Yet at the end of her side street London was in full swing,busier than around here,in the day.
Sadly we lost our friend last year,53,too young.

Definitely too young, I've also lost a few friends before their time in the past few years, lots of foxes in London and grey squirrels, they are quite brazen as well

I do like blackcurrant ...even nicer with a dash of Roses lime juice!

Some of those original Chefs ones are still great. I still love the LCCC, Queen of Puddings, Doughnut King, and a few others. The English Trifle is still a good one too.
I got to 4 years since my last cigarette last week!

Dehydration in a cup ;) Hot Or Cold Vimto all the way for me, unless we`ve got Ribena in stock :laugh:
Definitely! I can drink coffee again now (love one of the Tassimo ones with a milk/cream capsule) But always make a point of getting a water based drink soon after. I've just got a 750ml Chilly's bottle ...thought I'd try and use less plastic, so this is ideal. Not so easy to knock over and wreck the stuff on my desk either!

Lovely! :)

Definitely. Our eldest was just recalling the colleagues that died at younger ages to him.
Time puts a lot of things into perspective - my parents would both have been 100 this week, and my mother was gone at 67 - which was still too young, Dad at 86.

Carpe diem! :)

I have plenty of others, but only used Chefs for a long time.

I only used to drink tea, but when we got the ground coffee in pods, I do like a mug of that mid-afternoon. I've had to stick with hot chocolate instead for almost two years, so it's nice to have a decent mug of hot coffee again :)
