But it's not, is it? It's just that cafes generally have espresso machines now rather than other types of coffee, given the popularity of espresso-based drinks. But for example pret have brought back filter coffee for 99p.

Re: Old sayings that have gone out of fashion.

I smell an opportunity to get a lifelong question answered. My grandfather, who was born in 1906, used to say that if a so-and-so highly unlikely thing happened then "I'll stand topping."

Anyone ever heard this? Anyone have information about its origin? An internet search yielded nothing.
