The March of Globalisation

Globalisation can, of course, be a good thing. We've got a new Starbucks and, even better, it's half way between my home and the office. Yay!

It's also the first new Starbucks in town in the 3 years I've been here so hopefully this means that they're going to open some more in other parts of town which should have the benefit of encouraging higher standards amongst the opposition (clearly a good thing) as opposed to trying to smother them and force them out of business.
