You can’t really beat Twinings for quality. Mrs Royston likes Fortnum & Mason tea. We stock up once a month. Both loose leaf, and tea bags. The tastes & flavours are absolutely outstanding.
Twinings English Breakfast I also drink. I fear we don’t have anything in common. I am suave good looking and sophisticated. You are not.
I’ve seen you in Spoons after your 99p breakfast wrap, greedily pocketing a fistful of their complementary T bags
Prets for a filter coffee, plus a cheese and ham baguette, absolutely delicious. Pret are getting more expensive but the quality of food is fantastic. We'd normally go to Lidl in Locksbottom, but Sainsburys or M&S(when I got paid) for our meats. Greggs would normally get my business on a Saturday before I went to football, the meal deals were good. As for drinks, the Wetherspoons is the only place to go. How can you argue with a burger and chips with a pint for £10, precisely, you can't.
I would say the scoff in there can be better than what you would get in Costa, Nero and the like. Plastic s*** and very expensive.
Marks & Spencers cannot be beaten for the quality of their food. As I do not have the bank balance of Bob the Builder and Kojak I never used to go in there very often.
On the food topic, the grub at Charlton could still be a lot better than it is, I never buy it, those around me often do at H/T. It’s still, under much better owners, a 5/10 job at best.
Before I cancelled my membership in Feb 2023 it was £20 a month and any five drinks a day what was on the board, fantastic value. I used to love a Sunday morning having a stroll around Bromley in and out of charity shops, going into TK Maxx, and after I had exhausted myself swerving around Lonsdale clad oiks I'd spend an hour having a breakfast in Prets, lovely.
