"Let Them Eat Cake"

This is the coffee shop in Waterstones bookshop in Swansea. It's a grade two listed building and has some interesting features such as pillars, a balcony and an ornate ceiling.
As well as the quote from Marie Antoinette, there are quotes on the wall from George Bernard Shaw ("There is no love sincerer than the love of food"), John Van Druten ("I think if I were a woman I'd wear coffee as a perfume") and T. S. Elliot ("Time for you and time for me, and time yet for a hundred indecisions, and for a hundred visions and revisions, before the taking of tea and toast").
I particularly like the last quote.
Mr M and I partook of coffee and toast whilst sheltering from the rain. That didn't take too much of a decision!
