I could, after having my membership card scanned, collect a coffee in a scooped out vegetable of some description and sit cross legged in a field many miles away and drink it out of sight.

That said, a lovely walk of around 10 miles, and a nice downhill section back into the village for adult refreshments at the Broadway Hotel, at £6 per pint. Daily retirement allowance blown.
