15:0938036i think an athiest tea room would have a similar effect as a christian one.
people do not want to have to think about very much when they are relaxing with some food and/or drink.

16:0138040I`m always thinking when I`m in a cafe Howard about how much the bill`s going to be.
P.S. Have to meet up sometime and try them all out mate.

10:3438129Roger: thank you for the advice about the sill. Actually I can't get over them in my scooter - have to take a run at it, so there wouldn't be much shop left when I got in. However, going out this morning so will go and take a look - if I can get there.
Mine is quite a small scooter, so find it difficult to negotiate bumps and high pavements which the larger models can take with ease. Watch out Dover - here I come.

I daresay Rick Jones would be in such an establishment constantly! I have to say that you wouldn't catch me in there for a month of Sundays; it smacks of bigoted intolerance, and I wouldn't part with a penny of my money to such people.
True friends stab you in the front.

15:3338153Put my money where my mouth was at 10.30 this morning, and had a tea and kit kat in the Christian tea shop. Only 90p, and you pay that for just the kit kat at Debrad`s as mentioned in another post. The tea was okay, lots of religious books, cds, and paraphernalia surrounding me, but I`d go in again. Give it a go.

19:5238176It was quite cosy in there Howard, with the 4 or 5 little table`s and chairs, and not a buggy in sight. Before the war, my dad had a shop opposite for a brief time, and just up a bit, my eldest daughter worked in the sandwich shop while she was at college a few years back. A bit of family history in Worthington Street.

10:1638234I did go to Worthington Street yesterday and was very surprised - it looked bright and welcoming and well cared-for, which is more than can be said for most of the buildings on my route from Gateway to old Royal Vic Hosp. I took a look at the Weigh-In, and it is obviously far too small for a scooter, but would have been easily accessible if I had taken a walking stick with me. So I will definitely bear it in mind if meeting anyone for coffee in town.
And, Mrs Nicholas, people go out to restaurants, coffeee bars and pubs in order to meet and chat, or simply not to spend too much time alone. And for some, it is probably more cost-effective and ecologically sound, to have a meal where cooking is being done anyway, than to fire up the oven and cook from scratch.

11:0338241fair comment about eating out sometimes diane.
bacon rolls are more cost effective purchased in cafe, if you buy a packe in a supermarket, the contents have to be consumed within 48 hours, hence usually a lot thrown away.
the same applies to salads, so much ends up in the bin.

15:0138255Three tables occupied in the Christian tea room today, and down at the library, all the chairs were occupied by a group meeting. The former market square had a forumite meeting. Tuesday must be a popular meeting day?

08:5738334I called in there a couple of times yesterday for coffees and they have changed their window display, so now two-thirds show their produce and just the right-hand third have some Christian books etc.
I chatted to the owner about it and she said she does (very much) welcome people whether they are Christians or not and she never rams religion down anyone's throats - she leaves it up to the customer.
A nice Lady and a great little shop/cafe.
