By fry-up you mean frozen food reheated in the microwave, right? That's all spoons serves lol

Their fry ups are still pretty good, and I doubt they microwave all of it.

They microwave it all

Also I yearn for a better job that isn't so dull. The course was a nice interlude but now I'm spoiled and just can't handle five days in a row of tedium

Chips and battered stuff is deep fried. Literally everything else is microwaved from preprepared frozen packets, even the 'fried' eggs. It really is garbage tier food.

Well, hello! I am an immigrant in London currently studying at uni, like pretty much every other immigrant here.

I'd like to say more, that's really all there is to it. Maybe something worth mentioning is that I have completely embraced cask and have no problem with warm beer anymore.

Your average greasy spoon would be half the cost, fresh, and much, much better than a weatherspoons. Just wander round until you smell chips and beans and you'll find you get a much better and cheaper fry up. Generally avoid the sausages though, I'm pretty sure they're made of eyelids and scrotums.

everyone saying a greasy spoon will be cheaper and better than weatherspoons should provide some evidence because they all still use poo poo sausages and bacon and no chance they're cheaper

Yeah, it was true about 15/20 years ago, but you'll be lucky now to find a greasy spoon that is either cheap, traditional, quality or not turned into a generic pizza/kebab place.

Newcastle still mourns the loss of Peter's Snack Bar (now rebranded PSB 'cos that's cool and poo poo and only selling the same pizzas that every other establishment on that bit of road does). Happy days when you'd be served fantastic, belly-busting all-day breakfasts by (and cooked by) an eccentric, elderly, Polish man, affectionately known by all as Uncle Peter, in the company of every trucker/roadie/techie/biker within a 10 mile radius for a couple of quid :corsair:

Edit: on proper lovely Formica tables, mind you!

I can never quite decide what's more embarrasing - white dreads or white cornrows à la Axl Rose. Beckham, you're a very handsome man, but those rows were doing you no favours at all.

I am putting together a big ol' cous cous with feta, sundried tomatoes, lemon juice, olives, pine nuts, peppers and other bits and bobs. Tell me, thread, am I a big wooly woofter - there's no sausage in there at all?
