First user fees, now speed bumps...
I find that really quite amazing that folk carry on landing downwind ... because nobody has the b@lls to say - I am not doing this ... we all need to change to 09.
How did the windsock look from the cafe ??
This is some of what CRM is about .. just in this case across more than one cockpit.
Good on you for taking the reciprocal departure away from the sheep.

As I recall the windsock was not visible from the cafe itself - however it was so apparent to me as I walked back to the aircraft that I returned inside to discuss it with the chap behind the desk.
I made some very clear radio calls before departure, emphasising my chosen runway. I only got one response, from an aircraft who did not give his callsign, who simply said - "Oh. Changing the runways now, are we?" I felt as though I was an unwelcome outsider, and that their attitude was more that they had started on 27, so that's where they were staying. And the climbout 'up the approach' felt very uneasy.
Like I say, you live + you learn.
