Haha, I love a good Bavarian one on a late Sunday morning every once in a while. Weißwurst, Händlmaiers Senf, Brezn and a cool Hefeweizen Perfection. Even better when F1 is on.

Does brunch count as breakfast? If I was to have breakfast, it'd most likely be a Sunday. Even so, speaking in general (not just Sundays) I do not agree breakfasts are the best meal of the day. Much prefer a bigger dinner. For example on a Sunday I'd rather have a roast dinner than a full English breakfast.

The second one I've heard quite a lot is of course "can you put the kettle on?".
Moderator Tommy Posted February 11, 2020 Moderator Posted February 11, 2020 Do people actually still use kettles that you put on a stove? What is this? Little House on the Prairie?

Really? I find I only hear that from Anton, and in Australian tv sitcoms from the 1950's. It seems like a very English thing to say.

Very common here mostly in restaurants to serve tea and green tea that they make in front of you on a wood fire

Do people really microwave water to boil it? That seems barbaric for some reason.

When I have that full Scottish breakfast then that will do me for the day and I might have a small snack at tea time then a bottle of wine or lager to see the day off. John boy, where's the Square sausage at? Disappointed... And that hash brown is dubious. Look at him trying to casually sneak under the black pudding like no one's watching. Definitely an imposter.

I don't understand morning showering. The best time to get clean, (if you subscribe to a philosophy of doing so once per day) is surely before bed, not after it. Clean sheets. You're clean when you get in. Wake up still clean. All good. The alternative? Go the bed. Wipe half your dirt off into your sheets. Wake up. Wash off any residual dirt. Leave the house to get dirty again. Strange. Whenever I go to sleep after showering, I always don't feel clean when I wake up. Also the shower helps wake me up in the morning, I'm pretty sure. So I'm a morning showerer.

The hash brown is sneaking under the black pudding looking for the sexy square sausage. You can either have a square sausage or the normal sausage, I normally choose between square or normal if they ask, I take it you must have black pudding around your neck of the woods then, the wife won't touch black pudding because it's dipped in animal blood, she prefers white pudding.

You've got 8 hours (give or take) of sweat and other detritus on you, and that's as clean as you're going to be all day. It's gross You can usually assume people who make a big song and dance about having clean sheets because they shower before bed rarely wash their sheets as well.
Administrator Stan Posted February 11, 2020 Administrator Posted February 11, 2020 Yeah always shower in the morning. Never got the fascination or understanding of waking up and not showering and going to work in all that sweat/smell gained overnight. And yes obviously I use aftershave/deodorant but that would only mask the smell for so long...

My lot wind me up because I always try to keep the noise down and yet they don't give a crap how loud they are when I am off shift.... it seems with them every door has to be slammed shut when they go in and out... When I am on shift I normally give my daughter a wake up prod and because I am wearing my high vis jacket she calls me 'the rustler' because of the noise it makes...
