The 'full english' set breakfast menus in greasy spoon cafes. Out of all the ones on offer, there is never a single one that has everything you like (6)


Who can be bothered arguing about swapping a hash brown for a tomato when you've got a hangover anyway?

thanks. I feel strongly about this. The whole greasy spoon menu regime is full of inconsistencies. There should be a legal definition of what constitutes a 'full english' brekkie ;-)

yeah you're right but....


me - can I have menu no6 please? Oh, without the sausages. In fact, could I have a tomato instead?


greasy spoon bloke - no. If we changed the set menu for EVERY person that wanted it their own way, we'd have NO set menus.


me *thinking...er, yeah* - ok, forget the set breakfast menu. can I have a bacon sandwich instead please?


GSB - crusty baguette or plastic white sliced? ketchup or brown sauce? butter or without? bread toasted or not?


me *weakly* - oh god...get me OUT of here.....

    • Many many moons ago, I worked as a mystery shopper for a while (amongst a number of other part time jobs, including a mystery traveller on the buses 🤣) I was asked at very short notice to go and have a meal at that Harvester, because it was a bank holiday and they couldn't find anyone else to go. I thought, well, it would be a free meal, and they paid for a meal for two (on top of whatever tiny amounts they paid me for my reporting on it). I can't remember the exact details, but It was vile. To be fair, it wasn't as bad as a similar meal I once had at the Dog, and unlike that at least it was free, but it would take a lot of wild horses to drag me back to another Harvester. I don't suppose Spoons would be interested. They closed the one in Forest Hill, and at least that was an interesting building. And the Beer Dispensary nearby never did very well, though probably there were reasons for that (like a very small selection of beer). But yes, it would be nice to see a decent pub/restaurant there, although sadly I presume the skate park would then be turned into a car park, regardless of whether Southwark doesn't like cars.
    • Yes, he worked with Richard Thompson, as well. Sadly you've missed your chance to buy him a pint ....
