I hate coffee from those plastic-y or styrofoam cups, or the soft plastic glasses for soft drinks.

One reason why I carry a travel mug with me.

I'm also gad to see that straws are being removed

A yard of ale saves going to the bar too often....

Hate drinking from plastic always leaves a taste....

I've never liked drinking through a straw, or, for that matter, from a paper/plastic cup/glass, but will 'tolerate' hard plastic glasses when camping.
When offered a nasty 'soft' plastic tumbler (you know, the white ridged ones) and a straw, I'm never sure which I dislike most.

Had the old biddies meeting at the pub today

The tea is not much bottle so several had squash and I was very pleased that the pub no longer uses straws.They are trying to source some paper ones but, meanwhile, people in the pub have to drink like grown ups.
