All this for £5.50 at the cafe near my parents -

Egg, 2 bacon, sausage, mushrooms, chips, two slices of toast, cup of tea/coffee.

And best of all, lots of hunky workmen to ogle.

Only if you were daft enough to throw away 6 sausages having consumed the 2 you wanted, the rest of the bacon having taken out your rashers, 4 eggs etc etc. Surely you can find a use for the eggs at least - what is your MP like?
Well clearly yes there would be some use of the items, but not all.

A full English is an unhealthy breakfast so, for me, cheap is as good as expensive as it's 3 meals in one really - generally bacon, sausages and black pudding would normally individually be served as a meal - plus an egg - normally a breakfast in itself, so 4 meals in one! Add to that the extras - hash brown, beans, toast, there's over a day's worth of calories on one plate!

Can't deny I do love a full English though if I'm staying in a hotel or B&B, although I've given up that sort of thing now *sigh* and the only sausages I eat are turkey or chicken, which I love!

I shared an apartment in Spain with a Scottish woman once. When her friends visited they would come with a cool box full of square sausages.

Have been going to the chocolate cafe in Henley every 6-8 weeks to meet up family as it's halfway between our homes. Their full English breakfast is probably one of the best and is £10 used to be £8.50 on it's own but now comes with tea or coffee. Everything is locally sourced and it is almost too much for one. Still a couple of hours walking along the river and back helps.

There is a great farm shop locally where I have had plenty of stops for a tea/coffee but never had a breakfast there but my son and his family go there a few times a year. You build your own breakfast and I think if you have everything including hash browns, black pudding, sausages, mushrooms, eggs, bacon, beans, toast it works out at around £12. You can save by having one sausage, hash brown, egg, bacon. They love it and we keep promising to try it out.

I'd rather pay a tenner for a great breakfast that you really enjoy than a fiver for something that you just sit and wished you'd never had.

So is that your "thing" now, following me around and failing to be a smartarse?

Someone is a touch bitter about their ban methinks.

It's all down to taste though, I prefer a sausage with a higher meat content, I'm sure some poor quality sausages with a high meat content do exist but I've yet to have one. All the higher meat content sausages I've eaten have been good.

I've made my own sausages too (I had a grinder and sausage machine for xmas a few years ago) and always prefer to make them with a high meat content.
Oh yeah, I'm not saying they taste bad - I'd certainly prefer to eat a 90% quality meat one than a 40% chicken skin one too. It's just not a sausage to me.

I tend to dislike a really thick skin as well - one that separates from the meat and really has to be chewed to go down.

My brother-in-law made us sausages last Christmas, and when he'd left, I'm afraid my dad and I went back to eating supermarket 70% ones because the texture was all wrong even though the flavourings were nice. We made his sausages into sausage rolls.

£5.99 at my local cafe for the gut buster, or £4.50 for medium breakfast or £3 for a small breakfast. In London or more expensive places it'd prob be around a tenner.

Why is it so many "new" members like yourself seem to know digitalspy so well?


They also seem to have this thing where they have two names with an __ in the middle.

Weird that isn't it. Bit of a theme here. Are you sure you haven't been here before?

Judging by the way you are fighting with others, you'll be feeling bitter soon enough yourself. And judging by the date you created your account, you are no doubt talking from experience. Now, play nice.

No, but it seems you bought the 1997 Book of Internet Insults. Oh, the nostalgia.

Notice the similarity here?


All 3 members have first and last names in their usernames. All 3 registered in 2016. All 3 attacking.


Who are they trying to kid. I'll alert the mods myself. Far too many of these users, or probably all the same person trying to cause trouble in threads.

I signed up barely weeks before and I had no such issue choosing my username - why did you?

Because I wanted a space between my first and second name.

Evidently, going by your username, you did not.

Ah. So it's not that you weren't able after all, then.
