Exactly
Just a thought....why are coffee house chains singled out for being bad for Brixton? Why not have a go at all chains. Boots, Woolies, estate agents (well actually I guess they deserve it, the smug b*stards!)
As said by others - at least it's not Starbucks - there'd be rioting!

<goes all nostalgic>
I remember where I grew up - before they bulldozed it down and put up an fucking huge shopping centre (in Bromley), there used to be an amazingtea rooms on the high street - Importers. The sort where the waitresses wore pinnies and they sold a bazillion types of tea and loads of different cakes. We'd get taken there for a treat by my mum.
For a real proper treat Mum would take us to the one opposite Charing Cross station (which is now a Pizza Express I think) - Lyons Coffee House.
None of them ever matched up to Bewleys in Dublin though when she used to take us back to her home.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a really nice tea shop, with lovely sandwiches and cakes in Brixton.

No. Tea shops are for old grannies and those people who never talk about anything else other than the war.

No, tea shops are for people who like to drink tea and eat cakes!

Hahahaha! You'd have to get in there first for it to be a proper barring!
brix said:I've always thought there was a market in Brixton for a PROPER tea shop. I'll be first in the queue when you open
You might have to wait until someone works out how to fleece people £3 a cup before someone does that
as a sidetrack, the best tea shop in the world is the Mock Turtle in Brighton - doughnuts the size of cricket balls!

Oh God, I'd think I'd died and gone to heaven if we had our own version of the Mock Turtle. I don't know if I'd be able to bring myself to go to work so perhaps it's just as well we don't!
For those that don't know it there's a little more info here with pictures (scroll down) http://www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com/newsletter/index.php3?issue=5
