In fact many of Brighton's coffee shops are just rows of single tables with beanie hatted middle class clones sat at each table with screens in front of them, more like a work place than somewhere to wind down. I was thinking of opening a cafe called 'No Wifi'! Personally I prefer the atmosphere of the traditional British tearoom, and frequent Sussex's finest, and avoid the bogus ones. Nothing gets me more riled than a chocolate brownie, I'm a hardore victoria sandwich aficionado.
Me and Mrs. P were in a traditional British tearoom in Hawkshead earlier this week, where there were 3 other couples seated. That was 6 smartphones on the go, with no one speaking to each other. Apart from us, we were commenting loudly enough on the demise of proper conversation, but nobody listened nor cared.
And they were all sixty-somethings, not kids.
