finlo Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 16 hours ago, Grounds Keeper Willy said: It sort of goes in the face of all the negative stats though doesn’t it? We’re clearly all wealthy enough to spend £3 on fuel driving down to The Sound to spend £11 on brekkie. A pub lunch and a few pints in the George on the way back is probably another £50 at H & B prices if you really want to push the boat out. Is the inflation here that bad? It was only £2 for fuel yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was sort of inferred by the opening tone of the post. You’re more than welcome to steal that phrase though. I’ve heard it a few times now.

yootalkin2me Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 14 hours ago, Roger Mexico said: They probably wouldn't though. Most people don't really want a full cooked breakfast most days. We'll take it in an hotel if it's included or we might occasionally cook up some sort of brunch at the weekend catering for all our own particular tastes, but otherwise it's going to be a rare and unusual thing and probably replacing lunch (which we wouldn't blink at paying £11 for). So they're not going to get more custom by reducing the price. A couple of poached eggs set on an avocado crush nestled on a slightly toasted slice or two of sourdough (maybe with some slices of smoked Salmon) is THE breakfast to have these days.

Your spot on, had this myself many times in places across the water, rather than a full breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even later at the weekend. I'd love to find a good cafe doing breakfast and decent coffee which is open at say 7. Within reason cost is not the issue. it's the Caff or Mackie Ds at that hour. McDonald's do quite a reasonably priced breakfast wrap or bagel and the coffee isn't bad. Ok once in a while but you do see regulars in there. Builders meeting up and the boss briefing and sending them out on the day's job, former bank managers, long retired, meeting up etc. A good spot for people watching at that hour!

Donald Trumps Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I thought it better than 'wealth ridden', but in retrospect I'm not so sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ask for that I'm there will I get asked to leave? Not everyday obviously. And open at 7am. ETA: maybe I should add the ubiquitous smiley. I get that some people prefer milky stewed tea, sliced white and a sausage made out of leftovers and gristle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ask for that I'm there will I get asked to leave. Noa is trading off past glories and the sourdough bread is pretty awful too as it’s just too heavy to eat. I wouldn’t buy it in Shoprite and I wouldn’t buy it there either. There are plenty of places in the IOM where you can get good quality food at a reasonable price. Your view seems to sum up the pretentiousness of the metrosexual elite cycling and finance sector wallies who you usually see swanning around in there just to be seen.

What a load of daft chippy Mr Angry nonsense. There is nothing pretentious about choice - and that's what this is about. It's also basic capitalism: The right to choose to pay for what one likes - rather than being expected to like it and lump it somewhere else out of some kind of stupid reverse-snobbery. 10 minutes ago, thesultanofsheight said: There are plenty of places in the IOM where you can get good quality food at a reasonable price. Where else do you recommend for breakfast? Apart from the grim white-sliced and 'baps' places. Preferably open at 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
