Nor do I
I see the connection I think
Coffee places seem to be used mostly by commuters and office bods
Gyms seem to the morning/lunch/after work routine for people who spend all day in a chair
As less chairs are being sat on and less money is being earned the cappuccino and the 45mins on the treadmill watching MTV at the cost of about £5 a day (£1825pa) has to be high on the list of 'luxuries' you have to lose.
Maybe I have it wrong though?

Really? You really don't see the financial connection between easily cut expensive luxuries? And how their success might both be correlated with the amount of disposable income sloshing round the system? And how this heavy correlation with the wider economic conditions will make them correlated with each other?
Kanda, don't tell the people you work with about your failure to see this connection; they'll fall about laughing if you do

I don't see why it was bought up in a thread about coffee, just another thing to swipe at I guess. Of course I see it's a luxury that could be cut.
Anyway, I've just joined so I'm bucking the trend
Oh, I think the thread was about the general trend of the market and Starbucks was just the indicator du jour. Not that it was particularly revelatory or anything -- we all know what direction things are going in right now!
Anyway, the Kanda index obviously has a strong negative Beta with the Starbucks index. Hedge funds should buy Kanda ASAP.

I thought it was the Kanda spectrum?
I forget how Urban works these days, must be all the (freeze dried) coffee I drink or something?

About 15 people here have joined, that's where my piss take about 'not when they charge a grand a year' came from

The reason people aren't going to Starbucks is because McD's, BK and KFC are now all offering cheaper coffees with the same faff. People haven't stopped buying coffee, they've just stopped wanting to spend £2.85 on 3/4 pint of warm milk and a double espresso.
All this means is that SBs worst performers - mainly the 'spoiler' outlets that are opened to flood a local market and drive out local traders - will suffer as the company withdraws from the 'loss leader' business model, specifically with regards to business rents (which is how they were able to push many local traders out).

That's not my reason. I prefer to frequent local, independent cafes.

Yeah, but you never went in the first place, hence you aren't part of the group moving from Starbucks to the fast food chains. Therefore you aren't even part of the story.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I'm not spending two quid on a coffee, that's mugs prices(lol)
unless there was a shot of whiskey in it, then that would be a bargain
