A lot better than the first time I went here. Sausages are still woeful but the rest was pretty much spot on.
£8.90 with a tea.

Beans touching egg is a total no no for me. Not a fan of runny tomato juice (I like tinned tomatoes, but hate the watery juice)

Welcome to the Separatist movement. You know it makes sense. Some breakfast ingredients - for instance sausages and bacon - go well with the taste of tomato, and I think there's another group which go well with egg, such as black pudding, potato products (hash browns/potato cakes).
Don't be such a bunch of melts! It all goes down the same 'ole.Gareth1974 said:

this thread is consistent if nothing else D
Nothin exotic chez Dibble today. English muffins as a “starter”. They needed using up, honestly.
Then the main event. Some frankly quite shonky “dry cure” bacon from Ocado. It wasn’t the stuff I usually get, which is actually all right. This stuff was so thin, you could’ve shone a light through it and projected a picture of a pig onto the wall. Toasted and buttered (yes, I did have some butter left) rye bread and a trio of eggs, done in rings in the same pans as the bacon, hence the “bits”. Sea salt and black pepper. The Idiot assisted with the bacon and even he didn’t seem that keen.
It doesn’t look that great and to be honest, it looks better than it tasted. I feel dissatisfied.
I should’ve just had the muffins with some scrambled or poached eggs, or even just Marmite. I stupidly bought two packs of the bacon as it was on offer. I should know better. I’m sorry.

I never get the idea of adding more butter to a croissant, there's already a massive amount used in the preparation to give it the lamination. Plus if you warm the croissant, as you should in order to really get the taste of the integral butter, then more butter just melts and it's a right mess.
Jam, yes, that works excellently, but extra butter, not for me. But then we are all different.
Hmmm croissants, Lidl open in 3 minutes.

I didn't think you could get good croissants in this country. Just bizarre crumb-free facsimiles.
Co-op pastries are very good IMO if you get there right when they open. Oddly I’m currently working at a French Bank - and the croissants here are sh!te .... but the Pain au Raisin are spot on.
