Default Great British websites

Now and again I stumble upon a fantastic website that's so British in nature I can't help but feel a tad homesick.

Here's today's gem:
http://russelldavies.typepad.com/eggbaconchipsandbeans/

Red sauce, and piping hot tea.....

Does anyone else have their own examples?

The ebcb is bloody delicious. And arranged on the plate with some Joe Colombo flair. Look at the way the verticals of the chips intersect with the dottiness of the dots


funny.


I had a little cry at the Tesco Value ketchup

My new Kiwi friend made sausage rolls for us this week. Sausage and egg and sausage and cheese. They were a lovely supper last night with some beans and scrambled eggy (hey, we only had the 2 to share). I'd be roly-poly if I had her much closer to me.

A bacon sarnie with a piping hot cup of tea. Nothing like it. But what's going on with HP Sauce?
