点评:I wanted to work for 30 minutes or so while having a cup of tea. When I went to get the Wi-Fi password after I had ordered a tea I saw a notice on the wall explaining they were a know independent business and didn’t want laptop hoggers and the use of laptops on weekend was banned - there were also times during the week where people could not use laptops.
I am always supportive of independent businesses hence why I was there, but to ban people using laptops is pretty ridiculous considering they charge £3.50 for tea - i can’t image the stopper is not making any profit on a £3.50 cup of tea - I know the decor is somewhat retro but I think they need to move into the 21st Century people go to cafes to work. Of course users shouldn’t be abusing the store by sitting there all day with one cup of tea - but to ban everyone is pretty rubbish to be honest - still there are plenty of other independent coffee shops/rea rooms where you can sit and work and eat and drink.

我一直支持独立企业,这也是我来这里的原因,但禁止人们使用笔记本电脑实在是太荒谬了,因为他们的茶费是 3.50 英镑 - 我无法想象这家店的老板不会从一杯 3.50 英镑的茶中赚取任何利润 - 我知道装饰有点复古,但我认为他们需要进入 21 世纪,人们去咖啡馆工作。当然,用户不应该整天坐在那里喝一杯茶,这是在滥用商店 - 但说实话,禁止所有人使用笔记本电脑是相当荒谬的 - 仍然有很多其他独立的咖啡店/研究室,你可以坐在那里工作、吃饭和喝酒。
