Thanfully public outrage forced them to remove it eventually.

Always thought the Starbucks in the Forbidden City was very low key, certainly compared to the other “local” shops and stands around, it certainly was. Would also say that as the day we toured the Forbidden City in the middle of January, it was the only place that had a fucken heater that worked.

Oh, and the reason it closed was because the Forbidden City operators did not renew the lease as they want to run ALL the shops inside the walls.

Starbucks exits the Forbidden City

Starbucks closed its store in Beijing's Forbidden City on Friday after months of controversy over the U.S. coffee-shop chain doing business there.

The decision followed the Forbidden City's announcement that it wants to operate all stores inside the former imperial palace, which is now a museum.
"[W]e have respectfully decided to end our lease agreement," the Seattle coffee chain said.
Wang Jinlong, president of Starbucks Greater China, said in a written statement: "We fully respect the decision of Forbidden City to transition to a new mode of concessions service to its museum visitors."
Starbucks has more than 250 stores in China. In most foreign countries, Starbucks lets a corporate partner run its shops. In China, where the potential for growth and profitability are enormous, many Starbucks stores are operated by company executives who live and work in the country.
The chain opened its Forbidden City store in 2000 at the invitation of managers at nearly 600-year-old complex that sits in the heart of Beijing and is one of the most popular tourist sites in the world.
Last year, Chinese TV personality Rui Chenggang began a crusade against the store, saying it marred the solemnity of the Forbidden City and undermined Chinese culture.
Word of his campaign, which he waged primarily on a blog, became front-page news in China in January and rapidly spread around the world. Thousands of people responded on Rui's blog, many calling for Starbucks to leave the historic site.
The issue seemed to have dissipated until this week, when Starbucks closed the store after learning from the Forbidden City that it wants to manage all stores inside the complex itself.

Take anything Dug says with a rather large pinch of salt. It was only a few months ago, Dug learned that petroleum is formed under ground and is then brought up to the surface to be refined and used by people. No idea where he must have thought it came from before I informed him of the fact, the moon perhaps?

We bring you the epitome of culinary excellence, Walkers crisps, what a fvcking joke

"They're better than Lays" isn't really much of a claim to fame, even if it were true, which it definitely is. Walkers (I still say it should be "Wanker's" in Thailand, as Pallop is Panlop) are better than nuffink; Lays aren't.

What's wrong with spotted dick (dog) or drowned baby?
The World of Patrick O'Brian (Newsletter 3:2)
"Second only to that of Christmas we find a series of others, all founded upon that happy marriage of flour (two parts), suet (one part) and sugar consummated in a cloth or basin surrounded by boiling water. In Spotted Dog, for example, the dough is liberally sprinkled with fine bold currants and the cloth is tied tight, so that when the pudding is turned out on the dish its exterior is firm and relatively dry; in the version known as Drowned Baby, on the other hand, the cloth is somewhat looser, so that the resultant surface is agreeably glutinous."
