The true British Third Place

Starbucks are generally credited with popularizing the idea of the 'Third Place', a meeting place that is neither home nor work. The British often jibe that they've had the pub for a lot longer, thank you very much. But if you're over 50 then the Third Place has to be the garden centre. Somewhere to lunch, sit over a coffee and cake and look at all those plants you're no longer bothered about planting.
