Where do they get these people

Whoaaaahhh.....that photo of the fry-up is hardly the best advert for the Great British Breakfast.

Apart from the gross amount of food piled on the plate , the egg looks in need of intensive care and the sausages appear to be cheap manufactured tubes of slurry.

I assume a hearty bottle of HP is standing just off-camera.

For those of a discerning palate I recommend Farmer Sharp at Borough market......because you can't beat a bit of Cumbrian Carnivorocity.

Looks an interesting area of Britain, love to see the famous Transporter Bridge!.......I did purchase the Book 'Crap towns of Britain' a while back just to see what it is was all about......no Town in Britain is Crap, a Town is what the inhabitants and local authority make of it, even Slough is a nice town, just a pity about the Bus Station!

Thanks for the tip Freddie!.........I'll certainly check out Farmer Sharp next time I'm at the good ole Borough Market.......they certainly love their 'Posh' Bangers there!

I am a big fan of Babs, but that portrait is awful. Sorry Mark.

I have just been reading this myself. I used to work with Kelly Stevenson - she was a barmaid in the Billingham Synthonia club,where I was manager/licensee. I know Billy Dunlop's brother and father (his uncle is the actor Joe Dunlop),and I know Tommy Mooney's father.
Not a bad town,but neglected by Stockton Borough Council.
