So I think setting a reasonable level is OK but what is that level. Of course you can get what most would consider a full English breakfast for under a tenner in London. My local cafe charges 6.20 for sausage, bacon egg and beans. Two slices of toast and coffee. All well cooked. But you might have to search a bit in the West End. That's the type of place such conferencies are held fopr whatever reason. Makes you wonder why MP MEPs don't organise the G summits in peckham. |

In addition the sausage is probably not halal, the bacon definitely not. Really need to get in tune with the neighbours. |
