Tight people, we used to have a guy who took lift up to Dundee for the Walking football, never contributed for fuel. Prevalent poster on here , doesn’t contribute to the Bounce, hungry bastard
 
Famous for a vocabulary that contained words many of us had never come across before, and for challenging us to understand the meaning of his arguments: a trait shared by both although in different ways.

Nope.
Now THAT’S annoying.

Another thing…..
1986: Argentina beat England, who think they are going to win the trophy in the World Cup.
Gunts think they have won the league but tears and snotters as they lose on the last day.

40 years later.
2026: see above.

Another 40 years later.
2066.
Annoying that I won’t be around to see if it’s a hat trick of results, or just a 1966 type hat trick.

There was some daft Reform voter a few years back who genuinely chose to exclusively drink Yorkshire tea cause it was the only tea grown in England.

Aye very good 👍 😉
Do you enjoy haggis, tattie scones, Lorne sausage in your fried breakfast. All extras which make a normal fry up different, in this case Scottish.

English usually includes beans (which should be on toast and nowhere near a fry up) and tinned tomatoes ( which are ok in a sauce and again should be nowhere near a fry up)

Agreed - also you can keep the Lorne sausage and gie me an extra tattie scone instead.
 
Getting a bit picky now. Over here pretty much every version of a fried breakfast is called English on the bar menus. Then you can have coffee or English breakfast tea. Then the exchange rate is all too often the English pound.
And really? An English omelette!!!!!
A simple point folks which all gets a bit wearing.

Is calling it an "English" omelette basically a coded way of calling it bland?

I'd be fine seeing that.

So your local cafes call all types of breakfast an English breakfast. The fault then lies closer to home BH.
Write to the local media.

Agreed. Beans crept in when cafes began serving grilled or fried fresh tomatos which many folk left on the plate so they were swapped for beans. I still prefer tinned tomatos for breakast although I don't eat many fried meals now. What you eat growing up has a big influence on you in later life.

To be honest there really is no such thing as a full Scottish or English breakfast. The contents differ all over Scotland and England and very seldom contain the full quota of ingredients listed on here. No matter what it's called on a menu you just have to look at what it's made up of and decide if that's what you want. Usually you can ask them to hold anything you dislike or are unsure of and also ask if they can provide any item not listed.
Fed up with this one now so I'm off to pinch some of Mrs Wisbone's extra nutty granola. :coffee1:

When was this?

I'm in my mid-40s and beans have been on every fry up I've ever eaten.

Do you need to be old enough to be sending your poo to the doctors like @Sancho Panza to remember the pre-beans era?
 
Just call it what it is, British Breakfast, job done and nice alliteration for advert blurb besides.

I remember discovering in Lloret de Mar of all places a great wee Spanish brekkie bar with Boccadillo con queso y jamón y tomates (uncooked) which I still eat most mornings here in NL, which is coincidentally where the Spanish got their word for cheese. Yummy!

You're like a dog wi a bone.
I don't care what's in the breakfast I'm just sick of everything being called English.

Probably been well covered but pretty much cancelling anything! Insurance, subscriptions, cable/Sky TV you name it. They make it so easy to opt into these things but getting out of them so difficult. Virtually all of them can be easily signed up for online with no hoops to jump through or human interaction required but cancelling is the exact opposite. Usually involves you having to phone up and speak to an actual human. Even if you can do it online it's often hidden away somewhere not obvious. Spotify is a classic example, can easily sign up through the app but cancelling requires using the desktop site:9:
