Campaign for more fried breakfasts

[sojourner]

Erm, no thanks. I'm building a structure out of washed hair for, ooh, the next two lifetimes or so.

The caff should have proper chairs, not seats fixed onto a frame.

Agree with this, but can't actually remember the last time I was in a caff with proper chairs!

 

[dash_two]

I dunno why they have them! It's not like you see Wild West type fights in caffs with people clobbering each other with chairs.

 

[milesy]

i like the fixed frame chairs. keeps everyone in their place, as they should be.

I am so loving these brekkie sites:

One of 'em reviews The Phoenix

They are both a great read

I have remembered- The one next to Oval tube.

And Milesy is right- people move the chairs & too many people huddle round tables that are too small.

I remeber as a kid that the Asda in Clapham Junction used to do the best breakfasts ever.

5 items for 99p I think it was.

Oh, and it's not a fry-up without ketchup (I am also in the camp that thinks everything tastes better with ketchup)

Yeesss! <punches air in delight!>

 

[milesy]

non.

The problem with these is the amount of sweat they create around the arse area. Especially when you're eating your own bodyweight in fried breakfast (and BROWN sauce).

So when you get up to pay it's not always a pretty sight.

A good spray of Right Guard down there puts pay to any sweaty arse embarassment.

What are you on about? They're just fixed to the floor, not strangely fitted seats that cling to both sides of your arse like giant, sweaty limpets?

 

[Mr_Nice]

Yep if your gonna have the full on builders fried breakfast then its just gotta be in a cafe innit, don't taste the same at home, AND with a mug of tea none of these dinky cups and all that malarky

In the dim distant past, many proper caffs had battered wooden chairs, ones with leatherette vinyl padding repaired with duct tape, or pew type seats. Frame seating came in the 1980s.

Well they make my arse sweat a lot. And I'm not even oversized.

They need to drill some holes in the bottom of them or something. I might suggest it.

whilst interesting that is irrelevant to any discussion of breakfast cafes in the present day, imo.

Sweaty arsed weirdo. No holes - we don't want your posterior perspiration dribbling onto the floor in an eating establishment.



You should really carry a special sweat-absorbing arse cushion to cafes with you for the good of the British public. Or pick caffs with absorbent seat coverings over their fixed chairs.
