I echo PoolsNeighbour.
Also C&C really is'nt any more expensive for a coffee and cake than the goddamn awful Starbucks, Pret-a-Manger or other hideous chains.
I am a normal working woman NOT on a 60k salary (in my dreams!)
and I love being able to sit down and treat myself to a cappuchino in a nice independent local buisiness-at £2.20 with no pressure to hurry and leave I think thats a fair price for a quality product.
Its great to have choice and frankly I'd rather live somewhere with quality independent stores that ADD to my community than in an area with a highstreet containing an 'Affordable" McDonalds Greggs, Iceland, Aldi
and other such grimness.
