My french boss just made me this attempt at a cup of tea.

That’s what tea looks like. You’ve just taken a photo of tea and posted it to the internet to tell the internet it’s tea.

I don’t think the photo fully conveys how pale and weak it is. He’s a nice guy but can’t make tea.

No £10 breakfasts at Frank’s gaff…

I've only ever seen the photo of him from the back looking down the Dock Rd  i delivered bread there as a van lad in 76 for Sunblest. 

A Judo blackbelt? Once i walked in and he said something to me that made me and the driver laugh, he's probably well gone now?

The tomatoes. It might be controversial but I’d rather eat Hitler.

Beans, obviously.

Chasing someone who just asked for no black pudding and extra beans by the looks of it

I remember when I first arrived in London Town as a wet behind the ear ne’er-do-well and going in to just a regular place and being charged for a tenner for a breakfast…

 

’Can I have a black coffee with that instead of tea, please?’

 

’Drinks are extra, sir’

 

‘Why?’

 

Anyhows thing turned up with a single rasher of bacon, one sausage, a poached egg and a mushroom that took up half the plate. 
 

Picking my lip up off the floor I phoned my grandmother and told her I’d made a mistake.

 

This was Saturday, to help myself get over the ordeal I drank heavily and took myself for a Sunday roast, the roast didn’t come with gravy.

 

Amazed I lasted the week in truth.

Lovely place for a sunday roast in London here. Boss little pub and all. London prices but worth it.

I drink in the Lyric from time to time, as did Karl Marx…

 

The best roast in London is at Darbys in Vauxhall, genuinely sensational.

Nice pub isn't it. 

 

 

Haven't been to Darbys I don't think.

It opened about three or so years back so after your time, but make a point of going next time you’re in that part of the world.

 

Well worth it.

You did well avoiding the gravy. London gravy is shit. It's like watered down Bovril.

Nah, there’s loads of really good roasts in London now I’ve been able to explore a little and all come with gravy. 
 

Chips and gravy, shit out of luck, there’s about 10/15 chippies that do it, and most are proper shite.

I've never had gravy that matches my description of gravy in London. It's always been this brown, thin, flavourless piss.

The best by far was Brian's Diner as featured in the Crystal Day out by the Bunnymen. 

 

Here's Julian Cope there.

There's a boss comic strip about Brian's here

Loved telling you he didn't use a microwave on anything. Decent fry up though.

[Captain Turdseye]

Greasy spoon by mine. Swapped out the frozen hash brown for an extra frozen sausage instead.
 

£7.50. £1.50 extra for the cup of tea. 
 

It deserves a roasting from the GF but I ate it all anyway.
