    That's how these small towns are in far flung counties like Cornwall. Was looking for a place to get a cup of tea.

    Couple of places do 'afternoon tea' which is just that. After 2.30pm you won't see a tea leaf for miles, unless you walk 4-5 miles to McD's

    Weird, innit. I had a similar experience with food. Had a cracking dinner once in a small cafe/diner/restaurant and really enjoyed it so I decided to go back again a week or so later - at about 2.45pm. "Sorry. We don't serve meals after 2.30pm." FFS, I was the only customer. I never went back after that. Fuckem.

    In London you can easily find a Turkish greasy spoon open til 7 or 8pm. Workers Cafe in Holloway Road N19 does tasty roast dinners, choice of 4 meats, roast & 3 veg and a tea for 4.95

    Years ago I went to a dilapidated cafe in Kilburn, got served by an old bloke with a fag in his mouth and a hacking cough


    I dreaded finding his wifes beard hair in my omlette


    Been here a few times as well. Junction Road, Archway ..Good sausages

    What's worse than biting into a sausage and finding a roach?




    Biting into a sausage and finding half the roach.

    You could do a thread on this, Pat. There used to be a couple of good ones when you came out of Euston and turned left, but I could never get my head around them serving chips with a fry up in the smoke.

    I'm not a bacon and eggs man at all. Hate bacon, always have. Ditto black pudding.

    If anything, breakfast should have bubble or proper home made hash brown. The latter is virtually impossible to find in todays cafes.

    Chips too bulky and acidic (all that vinegar) to eat that time of day.
