Is this the end?
Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.
The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.
- Followup question: Do any of you have sarcastic Queen Mum impressions?garbage
- The fact that Charles and William are on there way to Balmoral doesn't suggest the most positive of outcomes.Morning_star
- *theirMorning_star
- never thought i'd see the day..zardoz
- She lived a really long and great life.utopian
- She's just fucking with the breakaway Sussex's Grand Tour.Nairn
- Couple of babies and she'll be fine. Get them blended up nicely.PhanLo

Will the monarchy continue and survive?
- Yeah, there are still enough people who can't think critically.Chimp
- Probably not. The Queen was actually respected some what, the rest of the royal muppets not so muchgrafician
- We will enter a 'bear market' in terms of the Royals while 'sausage fingers' Charles is in the seat, until Will takes over...shapesalad
- and thusly Kate is Queen.. then expect a 'bull run'. That will be the glory days. Then it'll die... but at the last moment Megan will take the throne in a coup.shapesalad
- You know it's super good for tourism, but that's largely as we had granny queen which was charming.shapesalad

Anyone in Cardiff today?
He's at the castle, above city centre. The crowds (queues) won't be as bad as London.
- Hold on, I'm wrong. Currently the king is at Senedd (welsh parliament) down by Cardiff Baycherub
- No one cares about the King, it's the lacquer of the the coffin everyone is queuing up for, the buff on that thing is outstanding.shapesalad

The narrator’s accent in the beginning... he sounds like danger mouse. Where is that from?
- It's Eddie Izzard, back when he was a man.zardoz
- izzard was born in aden (british colony in yemen), raised in northern ireland and then rural wales. a mad combo of lesser heard british accentskingsteven
- Wow, i didn’t recognize izzard at allscarabin

looks delicious .. but a couple of questions
is this really a brekky for 1 ??
and is this a regular everyday brekky ??
damn the eggs and sausage alone and I’m good.
- Yes & absolutely not.Wolfboy
- It's like a treat breakfast, but some folk will have that every single day.PhanLo
- ^ Pheeeeew... thank you.
Fuck, now I’m hungry.Ramanisky2 - What exactly is that burnt toast looking thing?Ramanisky2
- Black pudding
https://en.wikipedia…PhanLo - tomatoes are not breakfast.
one third of that is not food.imbecile - Love black pudding_niko
- This is a pretty excessive example and +1 for a treat. A couple of unexpected items in the bagging area for me, but black pudding is not one of them!MrT
- Drool! Fuggin love black pudding!sab
- Pass on the black pudding. What the frig are those circular things at the bottom?kalkal
- 1 - yes, 2 - no, 3 - I think this was your main meal till tea, if you worked in the field. Lunch was a snack on the go, as people relied on natural lightmaikel
- Oh my... I usually have juice and water for breakfast until 11am, I see this and it makes me want to puke!OBBTKN

- that's not a proper english breakfast - there's no fried bread ffs.
no idea what those two small discs at the front are. hash browns are a us import.hans_glib - its the - get cancer and a heartattack as fast as possible - breakfast.neverscared
- @hans, US import or not, you can't deny some sort of fried potato is an excellent breakfast addition.Continuity
- Never ate a real english breakfast, only the vegetarian version. fucking love it. sometimes I do it for the family with meat as well.oey_oey
- for me since I'm vegan I pass the egg but recently I saw a recipe for vegan fried egg so I will have to try it.oey_oey
- "vegan fried egg"
Do tell us more!palimpsest - -1 needs to use the sausage as a breakwater for the beanskingsteven
- I get this when I’m in full England but at home in America it’s bacon and eggs, home fries and toast at a dinernb
- Tomatoes are not breakfast? Ever heard of BLT's?jagara
- MDRpalimpsest
- @continuity, you've clearly never tasted the pure unaldulterated joy that is fried bread, or you'd never have said that.hans_glib
- hash browns are lovely, but not in a full english. they belong in the yank version, with that sad excuse for bacon they have over there, and eggs over easyhans_glib
- toast and jelly.hans_glib
- ulster version of this is usually the same with more bread. agree with the hash browns, this one is particularly huge too, latke territorykingsteven
- i do love a full english, but there's a lot of shitty versions. Decent quality sausages and bacon make it extra special. Fried bread I've never gotten into thoIanbolton
- I still wanna know about the vegan fried egg.palimpsest
- I got my answer: https://www.qbn.com/…palimpsest
- Goodness, hans - I figured you'd know those were white pudding at the bottom there.Nairn
- ^ oh yeah, didn't spot that. What the hell's white pudding?Ianbolton
- ^ Not-black pudding, obvs.Continuity
- Only thing that looks shit on this plate is that undercooked bacon. Fuck sake.
But still want to try a bit of everything else.Ramanisky2 - you have to be american. that's how proper bacon should look. tbh it should be collar not back but no-one eats collar any more :(hans_glib
- @detritus, doh, of course! it looked suspiciously industrial so i mistook it for some sort of oaty biscuit horrorhans_glib
- I want to try some of this collar bacon. Provided it isn't normally smoked, and just cured, one could probably easily make it at home, too.Continuity
- Collar is good, but less common (in AU anyway). Proper bacon for me is streaky.MrT
- Typical 'Scottish Breakfast' if you go to a decent B&B. You'd get cereal, then some toast and jam, then you'd be asked what you want for your fry-up.microkorg
- Sets you up for the day if you're going to be out all day hiking in the highlands ;)microkorg
- So does cold-soaked instant mash.palimpsest
- I ate this almost daily in Wales for over a month when I was there. It was the only noteworthy food I ate in the UK. The mushrooms are missing from ur pic,cherub
- the sausage is heavenly, the hashbrowns don't belong, and the black pudding is delicious. Beans are filler, if u are a large lad.cherub
- That's a bowl cloggerstoplying
