Hi Shizara===- that made me laugh.
My friend and I went into a cafe in Coventry and the same thing happened with the eggs-except that my friend asked for them to be burst and well done. The girl was aghast and first, she had to ask the boss if it was o.k to do that. (apparently when yolks are broken, they are discarded ). don't know what she would have done if we had asked for one of my sister's favourites--fried egg with fried onion batches. That would really bring down the tone of the place.
Heart attack perhaps.?
The most disgusting meal I ever had was in a well known restaurant in the rural Keresley part of Coventry. .It was a few years ago and a special birthday . The birthday girl was a vegetarian-a rare species then- so when we ordered they flapped but said -of course,yes we do veggi meals- and flapped off. We had the carvery meal and sat waiting for the other meal to arrive before starting. Eventually it came -our meals were cool(as in 'nearly cold' kind of cool. IT being the special vegetarian mess someone just 5 minutes ago had invented. An omelette filled with watery tinned chopped vegetables. To add to the insult ,behind me there was a trolly flambe'ing some steak and onions and most of the 'aromatic'smoke was wafting through my hair. I pushed it away with my posh shoe'd foot at first -thinking the waiter would take the hint ,but oh no, back it came--so I scraped my chair back, stood up to make a big fuss, when the manager came and said''Aren't you enjoying the meal madam" (Thick as a plank- he was)
I pointed to the meal, and the trolly, and the smoke, and asked him what he thought. He apologised and offered us another meal either then or another time.I could not reply because Iwas being ushered out of the door by my family.
By then everyone at the table wanted to get out of the place.
We sat in the car park and they -including birthday girl-and me later- laughed so much , partly because I still was fuming that a special occasion had been ruined and and partly as they re-enacted the scene.
As she said it was an 18th to remember.
And it does sound funny now.but Iwish Ihad been allowed to complain.
I would nowadays.
There was another place in Leicester where the sausages were boiled--but that's another tale.


welcomeTiff --you sound very bubbly--and we need you here.!
Where did you say you came from-are you like me- a Cov Kid.
To be a Coventry kid you have to be born within half a mile from CiTy centre
