It really warms my heart when people stop by and have a good time reading my blog :) <br />I have only visited Britain once, and while it was a GREAT trip, I can definitely relate to your breakfast grievance. Ironically, though, I think my objection to the UK breakfast is the opposite of yours - I'd like it to be smaller and simpler. An American breakfast - while I loved them when I was there - would probably suit me better come lunchtime. Like now... Mmmm - pancakes!Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-66162776297279395912010-04-11T11:01:33.476+02:002010-04-11T11:01:33.476+02:00There was some very clever writing going on here! ...There was some very clever writing going on here! Being a Southern Californian and having lived under the moody skies of Britain for 10 years now--I have to say, I miss those American breakfasts with a drooling-kind-of-passion. Nowhere in the world has such indulgent breakfasts as those in the States. Give me cheese blintzes covered in raspberries beside home-fried potatoes with grilled onions. Or how about a stack of fluffy pancakes--even made with pumpkin butter in autumn or blueberries in the summertime. And the choice of syrups is mouth-watering: cherry, strawberry, maple, etc. A big American breakfast sets me up for the whole day--I don't have to worry about a meal until late-dinner. Thanks for your take on things--and oh, by the way, I loved the April Fools' stuff. Cool. The 'yellow bent'--I love it! Keep on writing.

Therefore, if you two keep paying each other for the tasks you performed with the money you received from the other in the first place, you will be engaged in massively boosting the national economy ;)TreeXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207780401239489714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5263129748509629442.post-20650524647994305902010-03-28T22:55:59.103+02:002010-03-28T22:55:59.103+02:00but I do! I do want to hire you. We'll have to...but I do! I do want to hire you. We'll have to do it under the table in the trading sort of way though. I'll hire you to help out around the place doing stuff I don't want to and you can hire me to do the same because doing it for someone else and being paid is entirely different.
