Let's have some fun - GCSE Texts as Coffee Orders ☕
Which GCSE character would order a pumpkin spiced latte? Who’s definitely a black coffee person? List a few: - Scrooge: Cold brew. No milk. No joy. - Sheila Birling: Oat milk flat white with a shot of self-awareness. - Macbeth: Double espresso... for the murder plans. - What would your GCSE character be drinking? Let's get creative. I would love to hear your ideas below.
