    Cuppa. Rode motorcycles (mainly Triumphs) most of my life until a few years ago (still have two Trumpys). All the blokes in Australia who I rode with (Triumphs & Harley riders) were drinkers, so when away on a 'run' stopping points were inevitably pubs. I drink very little alcohol, often not at all, & after walking into one particular pub & asking for a coffee, & subsequently being berated by a grumpy landlord who reminded me loudly that I was in a pub not a bloody milk bar, my mate 'Gorgy' (short for Gorganzola - don't ask) a bloke short in stature only, with a big voice & a big reputation (a Jack Russell with a heart of gold) yelled out across the bar ”Oi Cuppa, just 'ave a bladdy bee-er!” This was about 15 years ago. The name stuck & I quite like it. If you meet me in person I answer as readily to Cuppa as I do to my given name, in fact I prefer it.
