If you're near a Carluccio's, they do really nice take-away coffee (I don't know what beans but they do have a Gaggia)...

We once parked at the back of a main street in a town, and to get to the street, we sneaked through a betting office. I also used their loo. I felt guilty, so decided to place a bet. I chose the horse called Teddybear, because its rider was wearing an orange blouse thing... I like orange. I like teddies and the horse was white... So I placed a £1 bet and won £104 So I then still felt guilty LOL

You had to walk across a plank over a muddy backyard to an outside loo which was stained and had caked-on bits. The seat had been ripped off.

I went away to do my shopping, then came back and checked if I'd won anything, rather than wait and watch the racing live
