Traditional Britiash Breakfast

Fried bread is not for me, it makes the bread hard and crispy. Bring back bread and dripping!
 
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.
 
One I was thinking of was called York Cafe in Clifton. Breakfast time the road outside was lined with bulders vans and the cafe was really busy. Huge plates of cholesterol and mugs of builders tea. Just as it should be.
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. (y)

The Kwik Fit is still there.

Much as I love Wetherspoons I've never been keen on their breakfasts, I find them variable and usually not hot enough.

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.

We used to have a beer or two in the pub near the rock climbing, far end of Cheltenham Road iirc.

There was a pub very close to the Kwik fit, we used to have to clean sick off the steps most weekends!!

Happy landings was the ropiest pub!!!

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!!!"
