Agreed.
And another thing that particularly annoys me is the continuous references to the ‘marble-topped’ tables of the place. They are anything but marble topped – rather they have cheapo melamine-like tops with a veined-effect on the surfaces.
Now I fully agree that the marble should be reinstated – God knows its about the only place nowadays the poor stone can be used without looking dated or frumpy.
I was appalled to find no marble tables in there recently and to feel the MDF underneath the table lip.
Either have timber or stone, not a cheap substitute.
Had to laugh at the memories of the cake-tiers on the tables – if old Bewleys does return, they’re something that’ll stay in their grave 🙂
