replied on: 9/21/2003 7:18:10 PM No, no, no, no The Selly Sausage makes a dreadful breakfast. Frying an egg isn't tricky and buying sausages that at least have a trace of meat isn't going to break the bank. Mr G's on Bradford Street makes a good attempt. In fact thinking about it, for the last 13 years that I've lived here I haven't had a really good breakfast (cooked for me). |

replied on: 10/2/2003 11:48:09 PM There's a new one just opened on Weoley Castle square (which is actually a circle - never got to grips with that one) run by a lad who looks like he's wagging off school but he fries a mean bacon bagette. Then there's that one up past Greet on the way to Acocks Green on the right hand side. You can have the full works in a sandwich. They sort of cook you your full English greasy breakfast (sausage, bacon, blck pud, white pud, beans, mushrooms, egg, etc) and then squash the whole lot between two slices of bread, wrap it up in greaseproof paper and off you trot. The bus drivers have a tendency to object though when you try eating it on the way into town. |

replied on: 10/6/2003 6:21:06 PM I have to go back on my never getting a decent breakfast in Birmingham. The Victoria Square cafe does a damn fine breakfast. Sausages could have slightly higher meat content but other than that, not bad. |

replied on: 10/6/2003 10:32:39 PM Sorry, Xerxes, only just noticed your question. The Last Chance place I'm on about is in Stirchley by the Co-Op. The Breedon Bar doesn't exist anymore. They knocked it down and built . . . guess what? Another block of luxury residential apartments. I wonder where they're going to build the first Stirchley lap-dancing joint. My money's on where the old Stirchley baths is. |

replied on: 10/6/2003 11:44:39 PM I'll tell you the worst breakfast... McDonald's on Hagley Road/Wolverhampton Road. Trying to get a sausage and pancakes out of that bunch of thickoes is like setting the infinite number of monkies the task of writing the works of Shakespeare. In fact, no, that's unfair on the monkies. Jesus and Mary, do they think they have to reinvent the ruddy menu everytime you ask for something? Instead of employee of the month perhaps they should have "lazy good-for-nothing wind-up merchant of the month". I mean, how many different combinations of hotcake and flaming sausage are there? How much does a 3 centimetre pack of butter cost? Is it with the maple syrup or isn't it? Any chance of having it slightly warmed up just for a real treat? You know what I'm saying here guys....?!! |

replied on: 10/6/2003 11:53:25 PM Just don't ever try asking for something really different, like sausage and egg McMuffin without the egg but how about an extra piece of sausage? "Is that the double sausage and egg McMuffin madam?" ...no it's the single young man, but with the egg replaced by sausage. Stares blankly at the options screen. "Hang on madam, I'll just get my supervisor, would you mind pulling your electric scooter into that bay on the left?" McDonald's beware, don't ever enter a staff team onto the National IQ Quiz. Please, that would be cruel. |

replied on: 10/7/2003 12:03:40 AM They all do it nowadays though don't they? Customer choice is right out the window. You know these ones called things like "Chick King", they're like the drunk man's Kentucky. You've always got to have one of their menu options haven't you? You can't say, "right, I can't eat the full portion, I just fancy one rib, chuck us in a wing, yeah some of your chips, not too many, and a nice breast of chicken please, oh and some beans, but skip the fizzy I've got pop at home". Oh no, it's gotta be Chicken and Ribs option 1, or Drunk Person's Feast Option 3, or The Overweight Lazy Family Bucket, you leave with half a dozen items that you've paid £6.99 for and that you end up giving the cat. Bring back choice! It's got to me this as you see. Where's me antidepressants? |

replied on: 10/7/2003 12:05:40 AM Serves you right for spending your pension money in the house of the great satan Mrs Jenkins. You would be far better serving your comunity if you brought some super glue and bunged their locks up. Even better ir you could borrow a hoodie from one of the grand kids and launch a commando type raid involving petrol bombs. If a meal involves the letters Mc it is not actualy food. |

replied on: 10/9/2003 4:46:45 PM Good advice Ariel bab. To be honest I've only been going back there for the free footballers for the grandsons. Trouble is, we've got 15 Rio Ferdinands and all they wanted was Becksy and that nice young Michael Owen. I bet his mother's proud of him. Has anyone out there got any swaps? We could always line up all the little Rio Ferdinands on the side board on Saturday and take a sledge hammer to one every time Turkey score. (That's not a prediction by the way - I think England will ...... hmmmmm .....now let me see...) |
