Before The Blue Brick (the Stanley Kubrick) Cafe went veggie, it was a good fry. If a bit haphazard service at times. Prettys does a top notch fry which is huge. Down by The Cherry Tree is the Grove, Greek Cypriots running it and had some good frys there.

The must haves: bacon, fried bread, shrooms, tomatoes (sometimes tinned), egg (fried and runny) and Heinz beans. Will trade sausage for extra bacon. Black pudding if it's available, but seldom seen in the caffs round here.


Partial to scrambled egg in a well buttered roll. The roll is crucial as you know.


Never have chips for brekkie. That's unhealthy and can't be good for you.


Wash it down with a mug of sweet tea

In Scotland, the triangular potato scone is a traditional staple. Weirdly they're also meant to be big on the Isle of Man.


In Ireland they have a slightly thicker equivalent called a potato farl - but I'd need to check with Irish forumites as to whether they were/are a breakfast staple.

I've never been partial to a farl Mr Ben. Not that common where I come from either


my potatoe of choice for breakfast is a sauteed potato


Anyway this is all "what constitutes a good breakfast" rather than where does a good one


I've been to all of the ones on the lane and of late Johnnies was the best. The one up by the Plough is proper old school (I remember a pre first ever Barry Barry brekkie there with Carnell)


The one next to Franklins was solid but great coffee

Hash browns are an American invader, but then so are baked beans, so how far back do we push regional Breakfast item traditions? As far back as Sir Walter discovering the potato in the Americas? Bubble and Squeak is a very traditional addition in a London fry up and always has been as far back as I can remember as a kid- i cant personally eat my fry up without this patticular potato product. Just as square sausages in Scotland, black pudding in Ireland and the north of England, and the curious Hog's pudding in Cornwall and Devon. I personally would rather fried bread than toast or hash browns anyday - but I'm just a believer in being a true all out unhealthy breakfast lover.

    • It may be that the original purpose of the noticeboards could be changed to suit the changing needs of the ‘community’
    • Yes. I had already offered to do so  some time ago if you are not able to do this yourself. Monica is not in there every day, and it is holiday season at the moment. I will try to catch up with her in the next few weeks. I assume there is no hurry as this has been dragging on for so long. I will find out whether there was more than one key holder, or whether there was one for every notice board. Also whether the same key (or copies of the same key)  was used for each board. I will also find out how Monica  liaised with the relevant people on the council and what their job titles were I will ask what system there was for ensuring that only neutral and non commercial information is displayed on the boards, for getting that information and for updating it. Before I speak to Monica, it would be helpful to know if jellybeanz is offering to be the key holder for all the noticeboards and keep them up to date, or alternatively if anybody else apart from jellybeanz is willing to have a key. Please private message me if you prefer. I should make it clear that I am not offering to be a key holder or to be involved in this any further than I have outlined above. And also that I am not "getting a key". I am just finding out more from Monica. I feel that it would have been helpful to have addressed these practical issues at the outset.
    • I'm an air conditioning installer - this is everything you need to know about getting it fitted https://mol.im/a/14875047 via https://dailym.ai/android   This may be helpful (sorry it's the Daily Mail!)
    • I don’t want the gatekeepers/key holders deciding what or what doesn’t merit being on the board. It’s for council/municipal information only. It’s not right that commercial or political parties or social campaigners be allowed to take advantage of such a facility. So, if the key holder can work with the relevant councillor/s, this would be a great idea. If not, it woudn’t.
