Oops. Starbucks has apologised after the coffee shop chain invited its nearly 2,000 Irish followers on Twitter to "show us what makes you proud to be British". The gaffe, which occurred on @Starbucksie during a misdirected Diamond Jubilee promotion, was hit with a backlash on the microblogging site. According to The Guardian, Twitter user Fergus McNally tweeted: "The ie stands for Ireland, awaiting the apology before I visit your stores again!!"
