Spruced Up Greasy Spoon -
Hail to the Hive!
Have you ever heard the English term ' Greasy Spoon '?
When I grew up it was the term used to describe any local rough cafe that served the basics, tea, coffee, English Breakfast. Pretty sure it derived from the cutlery not being washed so well and hence ' Greasy'
I loved these places as there were no airs and graces and the language was as rough as the hygiene. These days they are a dyeing breed with the advent of 'coffee culture' and as much as I love coffee shops in all there guises I still miss those old greasy spoon days.
This used to be such a place but over a decade ago they started to 'refine' it slightly and my mate @mingetoot offered to stand me a breakfast and have a chat.
I grew up on one of the streets that backed onto this railway line and spent many a happy afternoon in my childhood sprinkling small stones on to the bus roofs as they passed underneath scaring passengers and driver alike. Yup I was that 'orrible little kid.
So I got a wave of childhood nostalgia just being in the area and going to this old breakfast haunt for a fry up. It's called Cafe Two Ten as it's address is 210 Narborough Road. Simple eh?!
The menu is way more comprehensive than back in the day but we knew what we were going in for, and that was ' A FULL ENGLISH'
After ordering for the both of us @mingetoot sat patiently doing his worst Tin Tin impersonation as we waited for the food. He'd ordered a coffee but as I am a coffee snob and I never find they do it any justice so I went for proper English style tea. I think tea goes better with a full English anyways.
See what I mean? Does his coffee (top right) look very appetizing....nope.
This however is the mutts nuts. You can't beat it and I've never understood why in far away lands they find it so difficult to replicate this good old English, basic as the day is long, breakfast.
I barely think we even chewed or spoke. Gone in 60 seconds ( well not quite).
And then back out into a dreary June day that was as miserable as any day in November that I can remember. Typical English weather after a typical English Brekkie.
They literally have attempeted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem

This looked like the perfect way to spend a "soggy" day. The location is also ideal for "greasy spoons"... not a term I wanna think of when pushing the door that says,
"Come In, We're Open."
I'm not sure whether there was a marketing strategy for naming that place, or if it was just naivety of the owners, but I think it actually works.
I'll probably take a walk to that side of town for old times sake :)
I'm a fan. I think I first found that English Breakfast in Greece, Corfu Island. With my family and other ani...anyway.
!BEER
Its so wrong yet sooo right haha
Damn you weren't joking with your weather!
You cannae beat a greasy spoon, although they are a dying breed mores the pity.
Full English or Full Scottish they are the dog's bollocks, as for the tea I am with you on that. Tea with a fried breakfast all day long!
Weather is proper shite! Not loving it at all 😒
oh well, here is to a decent summer!
Tea with full breakfast please, otherwise it ain't right. How come there's no sausages? That ain't right either!!!
There was it was hiding under the toast

Somehow though the English breakfast always tasted the best out of these places than fancy restaurant type places.
