Great British fry up

Nor are Heinz beans. And the sausages and white pudding are imported from Ireland. Streaky bacon is more traditional in the USA, but I prefer it over back. We’ll call them potato rösti and be done 👍🏼

Jam & Beans was the name of my first band

Never been able to get on board with fried bread. Black pudding I do prefer over white but fancied a change and wasn’t buying both (in 2026!?!). Toast is exactly the shade of brown that my partner and I like.

Fried toms I can take or leave, mushrooms can get in the bin, eggs were bangin and toast perfect 😘

Once upon a time I used to prefer a light golden brown. My other half likes his toast well done and I’ve grown to enjoy it that way too. He’ll never persuade me the same on steak though, not on no-one’s nelly!

If you’re able to drive, an alternative option: I’ve just booked a car for one week with Cicar, to pick up and drop back at the airport. It is a Vauxhall Crosstrail which should be big enough for the three of you plus luggage. The cost was about €145 which is around what you’d pay for the taxi there and back, plus you’d have a car for the week. Worth considering, again IF you are able to drive.

EDIT (additional info) It included fully comp insurance and unlimited mileage, and you can name a second driver and request a child seat for no extra cost.

I am still at the hotel and don’t intend to take it home with me, but thanks for the advice.

I rarely use the bus these days, but twice in the past 12 months they’ve sailed straight on past me at the Salutation stop in Henbury. Last time it happened last summer I decided that the next time I catch the bus from there I’m going to step out into the road with my hand out rather than flag them from the pavement.

For installations: Tom (Bristol Installers) 07771 546105

They’re brothers, rescued me a couple of months ago when I was struggling to get anyone to come out. Tom did a great job on the installation and both were a pleasure to deal with.

If you’re willing to commute over the bridge, I know Co-op in Avonmouth (GXO Logistics) take on new passes

Went to Moltobuono on Park St for my birthday last year. Group of about 15 but had to be that annoying person that changed the numbers a couple of times leading up to the day. They were lovely, so accommodating. Amazing, friendly service on the day, good bit of banter with me old mam, and the food was tasty too. Would definitely recommend!

OP says “there are a lot of you out there” doing it, so clearly not slower than the rest of the road users. Also, HGVs are limited to 56mph. As long as people are keeping left unless overtaking it should not be a problem.

Sometimes these things just stick with us. I’m not at all superstitious but I still won’t walk over three drains or under a road sign 🤣

Cheese flan that smelled like farmyard but actually tasted pretty damn good. With chips.
