This BUT is the café's air-condition. I understand that when it is 28° outside, they want to cool their spaces down a bit, but what they are doing is way over the top. I have to bring additional layers which I put on *inside* the café, which just feels completely stupid. Plus air-conditioning is extremely energetically demanding (much more than heating), so in the price of my drink I am effectively covering the cost of them making me feel unpleasant.

If the shop isn't too busy, they'll happily plug in a game for you to try, or just let you have a go on whatever they've been playing when they didn't have customers. The owner has been trading games in Cambridge for as long as I can remember, must be 15 or 20 years now. Customer service is very good, if you do buy a second-hand game which doesn't work properly, they refund or replace with no fuss at all.
