Breaky at Civil Service Club, New Scotland Yard, London

What did they get you for?

Omg an insult to English breakfast. The beans should not be in a pretentious little bowl.

Big bangers, looks bigger than your phone.

[ChewDawg]

I get that feedback a lot.

It’s really cold here, like minus ten thousand. And it’s £8 million for a coffee. And Russians stand on the street corners buying houses on a whim. And all the people are on strike. Like all of them. I’ve had an Estonian write this post for me. And Santa isn’t coming. And the govt is full of lizards. And I still don’t have a letter that my nan posted me in 1987. And you might have to wait an hour to get seen for free at the hospital if you pop in on a whim cos your toe hurts. And there’s no eggs in the shops, literally no eggs.

Don’t come to England, any of you. Go to another country and whinge about that instead.

Taiwan is also really cold last few days! At least UK has heaters, most Taiwanese do not.

If you’re still in the Reading area, I recommend visiting Henley-on-Thames and Marlow, if you haven’t already. Lovely towns on the river, the former famous for the Henley Royal Regatta and generally being the home of rowing, lots of impressive houses and architecture in both places too.

@ChewDawg

Sonning is lovely too

Should be back in Reading for work related meeting end of next month, will try get time before or after my meeting, then back on the train. Good Brekkie or coffee places in the towns? I will have choose one town it seems with limited time, as work trip,

Yeah, both have plenty of independent cafés and such. Flip a coin!

For Marlow you have to change train at Maidenhead, Henley you change at Twyford.

Thank You, will try if I can get there earlier!

[PeiHua-Connie]

Thanks, good to know! (Still have to go early as meetings at England working hours) I also saw photos, I hope can delete the french fries on the brekkie choices

[PeiHua-Connie]

Sauce for my hot soba.

Went today, was good!

[ChewDawg]

There is also a great lunch at Market place in Reading. Little more upscale but excellent vegetable dishes and salads, as well as artisanal pizzas, etc.

@PeiHua-Connie

yes the Weatherspoon chain, good prices

Do you know what the JD in JD Weatherspoons stands for?

Jefferson Davis!!!
Wetherspoons - Wikipedia
The name of the business originates from JD, a character in The Dukes of Hazzard ,
Confederate Song - I Wish I Was In Dixie Land (with lyrics) - YouTube

Surprised the woke jackasses aren’t going after the name.

[PeiHua-Connie]

I guess I do not know this show, is a English one, maybe not broadcast in Ireland when I was there?

[ChewDawg]

Boss Hogg or JD Hogg is named after the President of the Confederacy
Jefferson Davis - Wikipedia

Thus, JD Weatherspoons is actually Jefferson Davis Weatherspoons.

Quid holding up well (to my distain), things not as cheap when converted to Taiwan$

I found: The name of the business originates from JD, a character in The Dukes of Hazzard , and Wetherspoon, the surname of one of Martin’s teachers in New Zealand, who had told him that he thought he would never amount to much.
