A recent anon editor posted the comment "james joyce's ulyssees contains a reference to banbury cakes", but in the article not on this talk page; this deserves further investigation.

http://www.readprint.com/chapter-6369/Ulysses-James-Joyce "He halted again and bought from the old applewoman two Banbury cakes for a penny and broke the brittle paste and threw its fragments down into the Liffey. See that? The gulls swooped silently two, then all, from their heights, pouncing on prey. Gone. Every morsel."
http://www.geoffwilkins.net/fragments/circe.htm "A covey of gulls, storm petrels, rises hungrily from Liffey slime with Banbury cakes in their beaks."

Notorious refreshment rooms at Swindon railway station

Honest question here: Are they notorious? If so, how/why? The 'Swindon railway station' article doesn't make a point of mentioning them or their notoriety, so are they really? 88.69.217.145 (talk) 22:05, 26 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
