Pot of tea, soft boiled egg, toast, marmalade, fruit - perfect way to start the day.
Oatmeal or muesli and fruit occasionally for a change. Beans feature in a Full English brunch; with egg, sausage, bacon, tomatoes, mushrooms and fried bread.
Sadly, its getting harder to get good bacon. I once met a man who was short, fat, had a squint and a a wooden leg (honestly!). When he told me he cured his own bacon I immediately did what any sensible girl would: asked if he was married. :)
Good morning, cousin, good to see you on board here. We may disagree on the definition of "bacon" and the pronunciation of "controversy," but as an American with roots in Wales and Scotland, I'm glad to see you here.
Hehehhe... no, don't get me started on the "tomato tomahto" CON-troversy.
Fun story. Last time I was in the UK (went to London, Cardiff, Manchester, Edinburgh) I attended a meeting in Edinburgh with about 25 people from around Britain. As we discussed the topic at hand, I heard many different accents, but I could easily understand them.... EXCEPT for two gentlemen who might have been from John O' Groats or some other remote area. I could not understand a single word they said. It was, to use an English idiom, Greek to me.
To this day I marvel how the English language has so many varieties of expression. The many English gifts that it gave the world -- Chaucer, Shakespeare, Magna Carta, Churchill -- the English language itself is by far the greatest gift. So I thank you, cousin, for that.
Heheheh... understood. In case you haven't seen it, we recently watched a TV series called "Clarkson's Farm." It's Jeffrey Clarkson of Top Gear fame, who bought a farm and became a farmer with no farming experience at all. Hilarity ensues. One of the people on his farm is such a chap, who cannot be understood. Even the closed captions when he's "speaking" is just a series of question marks.
????????
I highly recommend it.
"CNN PROJECTION" love the entendre.

I am British and I also disown beans on toast. Or on anything at all. kek
