Thanks Graham,
it's one of my all time favourites too, and one of the oldest.
Brings back many happy memories of what we today call Capuccino, then we 
just called it "Froffy-Coffy".
The place is still run by a family of Italian descent, I was greatly 
enamoured of  their daughter, Titiana. But, in the end all it did was 
increase their takings. A true Italian Cafe as they used to be. I'll try 
and find some photos of the inside, I must have them somewhere.
The Cafe used to be frequented by such illustrious guest as Gordon 
Sumner (Sting) and the Knopfler brothers. Just a couple of hundred yards 
away is "Spanish City" which was mentioned in a "Dire Straits" song, I 
forget which one, a sort of run-down amusement arcade and fun-fair. 
Sting's brother still runs a bar on the seafront not far away.
cheers
Douglas
