Anyone from the UK?

Morning all. Mince pie eaten with a coffee. Lazy ahead of Christmas. Going for a run shortly.

Feels like the last few weeks on the forum have been quite merry and inspiring. My writing is still going so who knows - maybe I’ll end up with more material to do something with soon.

Until then, hope everyone has managed their Christmas shopping!
 
Second breakfast I can understand. Four is straying into elevenese's
Can you explain to me, and please avoid long and complicated words like "Marmelade" because English is a foreign language for me after all, why he needs an insurance for his breakfast? Is that a British thing?
Or just another weird BE way to flabbergast foreigners by using wrong words for something? Coffee for example?
"I take black pudding, a grilled tomato and a health insurance for breakfast." (Coffee with cream)
You Brits are funny people.
 
You need insurance to transport a very large breakfast, the need for heavy machinery, and a risk assessment is mandatory. Also, insurance is needed for medical cover.
 
Come to think of it. Black pudding. That's a great one. Everyone should expect a sweet dessert when it's called pudding.
Imagine that poor French vegetarian and clueless Goth girl ordering it. She's up for a surprise n'est-ce pas ?
