I'm a Costa Man.............

I saw that on Facebook, very eek! She's extremely lucky her injuries weren't worse or fatal :(
 
Lucky indeed, but I tend to look for the lift to actually be there before stepping in.

And 'Bucks latte thrashes Costa's ;)

I'm guessing their argument would be, although a weak one IMO,
that there needs to be an amount of Ullage in the cup.
The large has a little but when poured into the small there is virtually none.

However I can see people "everywhere" getting a regular cup and hitting the large button on the machine ;)
I've not had a chance to try it yet, but I will soon ;)
 
bloody hell hiss i haven't heard the term ullage since the 60's/70's when i worked in the food industry

Nor I since I worked in the fuel industry, some years back, but Its a great word don't you think?
It should be used more :thumbs:
 
We used to call slops ullage. IIRC that was because that was the official term for it as a written off consumable (beer). The freebies that plod demanded were given went in the same column under the same excuse - it went to the pigs...
 
i hate having to drink coffee out of those paper cups - just ordered a double seasonal espresso at coffee#1 and they served it in one of those stupid cups!

:agree:

After the lift doors opening in Lewis's department store and the lift NOT being there my mum, being the person she was used to always say this to me, wait until you see the lift before you step in!

This was 42 years ago in Lewis's department store in Liverpool the lift looked like it was on its last legs even when it arrived.

Yep it's funny how words trigger memories ,we used it when I worked for bowyers in my early 20's to describe written off food ,one of the drivers did something to p*** the rest of us off one day ,,he got quiet a lot of very smelly ullage hidden all around his cab and tied in various places in the engine bay .middle of summer hot nights hotter days ,.
 
I know of someone who walked backwards into a freight elevator pulling one of those large cage trolleys. Except the lift want there, and the trolley came down after them.

"Luckily" it was only 1 floor and there was nothing in the trolley.

(They survived)
 
Crumbs! I thought I was the only person who knew the word "ullage". :)

I had to use it in one of the reports for a brewery system that I wrote in the early 'eighties.
 
The outer doors on a elevator are driven by the motor on the car top, they do not have power of their own, the outer doors do not open without the car being there even if there was a faulty interlock.
 
I'd guess that's one of the reasons why we've got a coffee machine at home.
 
This is my local Starbucks! Only one floor, but still not good. Wonder how much compensation she gets.
