I Fear the Bell has Tolled for the Tesco Breakfast
It was a beautiful Easter Sunday morning, lambs gamboling and frolicking in the morning sun, Ahh!! it's good to be alive.
Milk and Toastboy arrived bright and breezy, full off Easter cheer.
The booty was mediocre, Milk and Toastboy swithering over the purchase of a painting of a "cow and phonebox" was my highlight.
We left the booty and on our way to Tescos, Toastboy suggested that we should go to the Morrisons cafe, Milk immediately remembered the "Hoo Haa" we had parking on the last visit there, so he suggested I make the final decision.
It was then that I got a flashback , when on a previous visit,the sausages on a roll was misleading, the illustration on the wall indicated two sausages,but the reality was, when I ordered this, the roll had only one sausage cut in half lengthwise, and the bill came to two guinees and a groat. so I declined making the decision.
They both "Humm Hawed"but the decision was predictable, we just drove past.
and before we knew it breakfasts were ordered and we were all seated at Tescos.
It was then the rot started to set in, Toastboy by now was frowning as he grabbed his slice of brown toast, which resembled a small ceramic tile in size and texture, and proceeded to bang it on the table, " I CAN'T EAT THIS" he exclaimed,trying to bite into it with no success.
I knew he was a toast connoisseur and this was the final straw, I could not leave him in this agitated state, so I returned the offending slice and complained,and got it replaced with a nice slice of white toast, which was gratefully received by Toastboy.
That does Toastboy said, from now on we are going to Morrisons, Yes said Milk you are right, and he turned to me and told me that I must put quality before cost.
I said that is rich coming from someone who laterly does not eat breakfast anyway,and fasts till late evening.
Milk replies, but if the food was of better quality, who knows I might start to eat breakfast.
Fair enough point taken.
The irony was when I turned to look at Toastboy who was now licking his lips, his plate was clean, not a morsal left, believe it or not that was very good, and I enjoyed it he said. That just made my day. Watch this space.
