Anyway her friend told here she believed that englishmen always had egg bacon sausage and tomatoes for breakfast so that's what she made .

I was woken up with a kiss and a smile ~ a tray plonked in front of me with the words "I English food" ~ something I couldn't complain about going by the night before.

Staring at me on the tray were two very hard boiled boiled eggs rolling around the plate out of their shells ~ a piece of lunza ~ a loukanika sausage and a full salad with lots and lots of raw tomato all soaked in olive oil and lemon juice.

Something wasn't quite right with the translation "English breakfast" somehow

It was unusual to say the least but I gave her full marks for trying .

More than that Bubbles I had to spend the next three years cooking because she couldn't bloody cook.

This came to a end when I spoke to her mum and comp;ained about her daughter being useless in the kitchen and how she waited til I got home from work for me to make the evening meal.

A couple of smacks around the head from her mum seemed to do the trick and all of a sudden she started cooking :D ~ although it was hit and miss at the beginning :(

Well I was in luurve wasn't I .
Actually it was a good arrangement ~ I cooked and she obliged later in the night in return :wink: .

I've often regretted complaining to her mum since :cry:
