Well my twice a week bacon or bacon and egg is twice a week only and if I make it myself it is grilled bacon and poached eggs, however if on a holiday/break it usually is fried bacon and fried eggs, I`ll be the first to admit that fried stuff tastes better but I try to think healthy, fried bread as a once per year I can forgive myself I think.
Cornflakes are bad for you, but taste great I admit, no sugar and not swimming in milk either (semi skimmed) tastes nicer than porrage, so again a treat now and again.

I used to work on whiteladies road. Around 2002, for kwik fit.
Guessing your staff room would have been the Vittoria few doors along. Or maybe Penny Farthing run by a character called Chas and his fearsome alsatian Bruce. Chas was ex CID (left under a cloud, not sure if it was because a local crim named Wayne Lomas was found encased in concrete in the floor of his mother in law's house or not), drove a pink XJ6, liked loud shirts and at closing time would call out "we've had your money, now fck off!" The good old days.
The Kwik Fit is still there.

Know what you mean. But for the price they can't be beaten. 7 quid for a large one and bottomless tea, coffe, hot chocolate. It's often the beans that are a bit cool, however I don't mind them like that. Everything else is usually fine.
The 'not hot enough', seems universal throughout 'spoons', rather oddly. It must be how they all operate.
They'll never get that second Michelin star at this rate.
We used to have a beer or two in the pub near the rock climbing, far end of Cheltenham Road iirc.Guessing your staff room would have been the Vittoria few doors along.

After a day on the wheels would the Kwick fit fitters use the pub?
I heard once from a friend that
"You can't drink quicker than a quick fit fitter!!!"
