TIM HORTONS IN ENGLAND!!!

Hi everyone,
I just called Tim Horton's and got the most up to date list of places you can buy Tim's in the UK for you.

I wrote a blog post with them all right here: http://canadiansintheuk.wordpress.com/2 ... in-the-uk/

There's a tonne of them, so you'll have to scroll through the list to find your nearest location, but this should help anyway.

Cheers,
Victoria

Sorry guys - dont get excited, it's not the real thing.
There are loads of THs in Ireland, in SPAR supermarkets. They are run by some French company.* But it's rubbish coffee, mediocre but very expensive donuts (and very few of your favourite flaours), and worst of all no Timbits.
And now this sham has come to England.

* There's an article about this but as a new member I'm not allowed to post the link: search for "Tim Hortons in Ireland"

I had a TH doughnut from Spar in Birmingham a few weeks ago, and it was horrible. In fact I had the feeling it had sat on the shelf for days. So yep, nothing to get excited about!

I had the same in Dingle -- while yes, it tasted like rubbish compared to real tim's coffee, my friend had a hot chocolate and, since it came out of the tim's packet, I can guarantee you it was the same. Though I didn't like it much in canada either .. it's just a nice touch of home when you're away.

I've had a hard time finding honey mustard dressing over here, but now with a Timmies is that ever nice.

There are two TH's in Cardiff, Wales that sell donuts, coffee, tea and TH's hot chocolate. They are both in Spar shops and on the patch where I work. One of these shops is 24h so can get the TH fix I need any time. The sooner TH start opening actual shops in the UK the better, give Starbucks and Costas a real run for their money.

I found it Coffee of the gods (Canadian ones) and a few doughnuts albiet there is no service with a smile at the Shell garage at the Tots hill sevices on the A34 near newbury. The coffee was fab and the donughts good.

When I was in Canada in June and July of this year, I took my daughter to a Tim Hortons after visiting the CN Tower. We had a sandwich and a drink and a donut. I had a coffee as well. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was like I was in Heaven. I felt more at home than I can put into words. There was a group of old people conversing in Italian nearby. There were many groups of two occupying the various tables, conversing and laughing. Many people came in a steady stream to place their orders for take away. There was a community represented in that little Tim Hortons. There was no loud screaming or misbehaviour because everyone respected the rights of others to enjoy Tim Hortons themselves. It was......truly a Canadian moment. Lets be honest: Unless you are Canadian, you don't really get the Tim Hortons mystique. The feeling is a gift reserved for us Canadians who share it and love to shed a tear when we are welcomed back by Timmies.

Ok I found a new one in.........Manchester airport term, 2 It sells coffee only thing it doesn't have is sandwiches so had to miss out on ham and swiss (Toasted) that is! Didn't even ask how much just ran in and filled a box with maple dip & boston creams! There is lots of parking and woth the trip if your not far away. Leeds to airport 1 hour off peak.
