I grew up during the 1980s in a mining village in Barnsley where the village hall was used to teach the boys how to box and the girls how to dance. Never the other way round – yes, Billy Elliot could have been set in Barnsley. I don’t understand why it wasn’t socially acceptable for boys to learn to dance or girls to box in the 1980s, but it really concerns me that in 2020 things are basically the same.
I remember when I first came across a latte, and it was life changing. I had never been a fan of coffee, and I still don’t like freeze dried coffee, but then I met the real stuff and I’ve been hooked since. One day at Uni we wandered into Sally’s, part of the food court at the University of Sheffield, and the course of my life was forever changed.
It wasn’t just the lovely coffee I liked; it was the display of physics in front of me. The foam floating on the layer of coffee, floating on the layer of milk. The reason that you can create layers in your coffee is all down to density, there is a slight difference in the density of the coffee and of the milk, and again to the milk foam. This means if they are properly prepared the layers will float on top of each other.
