Is that opposite the Polly on the corner? I used to go to Maxine's all the time back in the seventies/eighties, it was the first place I knew of with a space invader machine, sort of cafe with a bar licence, great place, the other doss we had was Tramps on Bretonside.

That was Maxim's. I learnt much of what I know of life in there as a teenager. [Insert wavy lines of nostalgia here.]

Isn't Maxines the old Hackney Carriage? I thought it was shut, but there were people loitering outside it the other night.

That's the one, did you know bald Julian the guy with alapicia, he was a good mate of mine and was quite recognisable?

Not ringing any bells, Iggy - but what year(s) are we talking? We used to go there and drink coffee out of glass teacups instead of eating school dinners.

Late seventies up until mid eighties I guess?
