Sir, - Eileen Battersby is too kind to Bewleys at Stanstad Airport (An Irishwoman's Diary, June 11th). We also decided to try Bewleys on our last visit, for lunch as it happened. I am afraid our experience was, if anything, worse. We would certainly be avoiding this establishment in future.
I am not one of those who appear to seek reasons abroad to be ashamed to be Irish. I believe we have good reason to be proud at many airports abroad - both Aer Rianta and Aer Lingus, for starters, do us proud. However, one occasionally feels a bit let down, and I share Ms Battersby's disappointment at our mutual experience of "Bewleys abroad". Yours, etc., W J Murphy
