Did you take the photos? Looks like a professional photographer was involved.

It was a lady called Natia Stuart-Fox, who is married to Richard (Film Producer), owns EuroGeorgia and 50% of the Mancala Investment Group's stock.

She trades at Natalie, but beware, us Georgians are everywhere

Have you bought your torch?

There is an official Olympic Torch in the boot of my car at the moment!

Breakfast.... there was a box of special tea bags, some freshly brewed coffee, toasters and bread (you make your own), a big bowl of mixed boxes of cereals, a big jar of weetabix, a cupcake stand of mixed jams and marmalades, butter, little sachets of coffee, sugar etc and a pot of fresh fruit juice. So I started with two pieces of toast, one packet of jam and some fruit juice.

I prefer instant coffee, so I was made some instant coffee, in a cafetiere as a way of serving it, but it was instant.

Then I ordered the full English, without bacon or mushrooms - and scrambled eggs. I got 2 sausages, half a plate of fabulous scrambled eggs, good portion of beans and two halves of a beef tomato fried... so I shoved half a piece of toast under the beans and tucked in ... with some brown sauce.

It was nice and I am stuffed

ETA: Pastures, I know you want to do a posh alert....go on!

Well, POSH ALERT on the flying.

Not sure what was done... I'm as far from fashionable/trendy as it's possible to be without morphing into Jo Brand. .... and I sometimes look in the mirror and think "if you just wore black you could be her"

And if you paid more than £4.50 for it, you should have got one of these

I cheated on my own cafe with a friends to get this, then took it round to mine!

You know, you really need to start a new thread... The Nice Posh people's thread.... so your posts don't get caught up in my excitement at some beans on toast

For some reason, this posting didn't "quote" yours. Bizarre.

Anyway ... I was going to say:

Mine was kind of free, it's included. I could have opted for a price without breakfast but I figured it's a great meal and I shouldn't skimp, so I've no idea how much extra I'm paying for the breakfast, probably £3.

For me, I got a good deal, but going without breakfast would end up not very MSE at all as I'd spend all my time snacking through the day instead, at greater cost. And, starting the day with a full belly's a great way of life We never had breakfast when I was growing up.

Your big breakfast needs more eggs, more sausages.... and hash browns would have been good/or fried potato bits.

PN: It was something that I've never done before, never thought about doing, but we're 2 minutes from the airport, I've got a free taxi to/from (well...undeclared BIK to the amazing value of £18 total!) the airport and we're 3 hours from the South of Spain. I didn't think that was too bad!

And this surely is the NPPT, of which NPNP just pop in occasionally
