English Breakfast - Oh, the Humanity

Where the Greeks are the best in eating food that won't kill you by morning, it seems the English are the worst.  If by some miracle the evening's repast doesn't kill you then you have an excellent shot at it with breakfast.


Take a look at the beauty of an English Breakfast here.  Big sausages and bacon with an egg and hash browns, beans and a fried tomato.  Yikes!


England has adopted all of the horrors of American eating as well.  Burger King is here and they don't serve a breakfast menu.  Instead there were people ordering Whoppers and french fries at nine in the morning.  I've also seen Kentucky Fried Chicken and MacDonald's and, just to ensure you have no hope of survival, there's Krispy Kreme donuts.  Everything that made Americans as big as delivery trucks is here for your nutritional nightmare!


But there are other things classically English as well and one of those is the Bentley.  I gather it's ever so fashionable when someone buys a Bentley to sniff when observing it's not a Rolls and say, "Oh dear, it's only a Bentley."

However, don't be deceived.  The Bentley GT Continental Speed will do zero to one hundred kph in 4.2 seconds.  It will do zero to one hundred and sixty kph in 9.0 seconds.  They build luxury cars, of course, but the GT Continental has a twelve-cylinder motor and it serves luxury and high-performance at the same time.

I have no idea of the year of this one (probably nineteen thirties) but it was out in the parking lot.


Take a look at those tires.  This automobile has never touched the road, at least not in any recent time.













He's painted his bloody name on it!  Perhaps the car has just been purchased and the new owner will remove that.  Hopefully it will even be driven as it's such a shame that such a magnificent touring car faces a future much the same as unearthed dinosaur bones.

Bob Forstner is the name and he is a dealer in very high-priced automobiles so perhaps the vehicle really will be sold to be driven.  Good luck to you, lady!
