Mike,

I dashed out at lunchtime today and got you a Starbucks city mug from SCOTLAND. It'll be yours in ORD at the weekend, assuming it survives the journey.

Purchasing this mug led me to breaking a personal boycott; I don't go to Starbucks because:
1. They have needlessly and permanently ruined a number of beautiful buildings in central Edinburgh in order to sell overpriced latte
2. Hating McDonalds is just soooo last year

Also, I couldn't help noticing that Scotland is not, in fact, a city. I asked the girl at the counter about this and she said "Edinburgh and Glasgow aren't big enough to have mugs of their own". Presumably the half a dozen outlets in each city is not enough.

Honestly, the things we do to make a fellow FTer happy

Alastair
