Full English: Or how to run a B & B and keep your sense of humour

Аннотация

‘Full English’ – a phrase as familiar as church bells to every last globetrotter from here to Kangarooland. To be correct it should, I suppose, be Full English, Irish, Scottish or Welsh. But no matter where you park your bum ready for that first meal of the day, you know it will include bacon, egg, sausage and tomato plus whatever your breakfasteer chooses to titillate your taste buds with the hope that you will linger another day. Breakfasteer will be a word you have never heard. That is because it was coined purely for this book. Soon it will be in the Oxford English Dictionary and defined as: ‘Someone who cooks the first meal of the day for travellers and has an unquenchable sense of humour.’ The author’s name is his own, but all the characters have fictitious ones and locations are disguised where appropriate. A move which will, hopefully, avoid embarrassing those who have committed what have been, sometimes, bizarre happenings. However, should anyone recognise themselves, do take it in the spirit it is intended.
