　　Times are changing, especially for the British. Afternoon tea has been part of everyday life for the British for centuries. But now Britons have discovered the joys of coffee, turning their backs on tea and rushing to the new coffee bars that have started appearing all over the country.

　　The advance of the coffee bar clearly reflects Continental European influence on British countries where coffee is a much greater part of the culture. The French, for example, prefer to sit in a cafe and drink cups of coffee.

　　The increase in high quality coffee is part of a wider trend － a growing taste for foreign food and drinks in Britain. Many Indian, Chinese, Arabic and other restaurants appear in large numbers across Britain's cities.

　　“A lot of it is about image, about wanting to be something that we're not,” says Jessica, the manager of one of Britain's best known coffee companies.

　　Yet some British people say they've become more like the rest of Europe through America. American coffee chain Starbucks has pushed the idea that enjoying a cup of coffee can compete with the tradition of afternoon tea.

　　However, coffee shops haven't yet been successful in winning against the pub. They have provided a pleasant new choice, but after hours the pub and beer still rule.
