Bacon Butty?
Here’s the best place to get one according to the AA-Bob's Big Bite in Stourbridge; a combination of "solid back bacon" between "robust" hand-sliced bread presented on "a real plate with a paper napkin" according to the Telegraph.
Or how a bout Britain’s best cup of char: Mega Bites cafe in Portsmouth.
And after that the best loos can be found at Mickey's Diner in Aylesford, Kent.
These discoveries were made by Andy Taylor, the AA's patrolman of the year who spent a month travelling round, and gaining half a stone in weight.
The “experts” in Leeds University have of course made vital research into this most important subject, and have produced a recipe for the perfect bacon butty-Take two or three back bacon rashers, cook under a preheated grill for seven minutes at around 240°C and nestle between two slices of farmhouse bread around 1-2cm thick.
And there is even a formula-N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.
I can smell the bacon now.
How not to behave at an airport- The Register
The woman turned up late for her flight to San Franciso, the plane doors had been closed and her luggage was offloaded, she threw a “wobbly”, you will need earpugs if you click on the video.
Spoilt brat comes to mind.
See through trains- The Register
Well not really, but female staff who work for Express's East Coast line connecting London and Edinburgh have refused to sport new uniforms because the blouses leave "little to the imagination" of passengers.
The Transport Salaried Staffs Association said that staff had returned the offending clothing to the company demanding a less transparent alternative.
The SUN of course has provided a photo of a see through blouse here, if you feel the need lads.
Still I suppose it’s better then looking at the back of someones head when you are standing because the train is so crowded.
And staying on the “wobbly bits” theme- quicker-drying bras • The Register , the ultimate accessory for those ladies who don’t have more than one bra- The Bra Dryer, which uses infra-red heat to “gently remove moisture” from the offending item.
Maybe they could make use of it at Express's East Coast.
And finally Ryanair may charge cattle to use the bog • The Register
Yes I know it’s old news but, Ryanair is taking the piss, passengers have to load their own luggage, pay for everything from food to the air they breathe, in order for the airline to “keep lowering the cost of air travel." Eventually the “extras” will cost more than the flight: the next thing will be a whip round for the fuel before take off.
If it comes into force here is a link for urine drainage bags, giant nappies are available from all good drug stores: it may work out cheaper.
“Flying might not be all plain sailing, but the fun of it is worth the price.” Amelia Earhart
