Left turn at Albuquerque

I'm in the middle of answering a Zogby's opnion poll. The usual questions about whether I'm registered to vote, what I think of Dubya, who I'm likely to vote for for president; then some questions about abortion rights; and then I hit this page:

Every morning from Thanksgiving until Christmas, after which you swear off until next November?

Tuesdays and Fridays during months with 30 days, and not at all in 31-day months?

That sounds reasonable, I seem to recall that Starbucks do do some sort of Christmas blend (or mulled coffee or something) ...

... or perhaps you only buy Frappacino's on hot, sunny days, so only the months July to September (in the UK)

Or perhaps I only patronise Starbucks when I'm visiting the US, and go to better coffee shops here in the UK when I'm not in the US (or vice versa).

Certainly there is no Starbucks anywhere near me here in the UK, so I'd only go if I was in a different city (like at a convention) or travelling and there happened to be one in the right place or ... in the future ... if I had a laptop with a wifi card and was looking for internet access while travelling
