Don't get many of these places anymore, they used to be everywhere down south, I remember having breakfast in them when i was on the roofs, massive plate of food, all for about 2 pound 50.

Used to be plenty here up north too. They had a certain atmosphere to them. A very smoky one before the smoking ban came in. Don't know which smell was more overpowering, the smoke or the old cooking fat.

what I love the most about this video (besides the food) is despite this being a greasy spoon, all of them are using their forks the "proper" way when scooping food into their mouth.

Absolutely right! So much changed! When I’m watching videos from 90s Sometimes I feels like it was just a dream. And it was at the different world. Nowadays You will never get those vibes as it was at 90s. And for example it’s hard to meet at the streets of London so many rock n roll celebrities as it was back in the days. Now it’s a new internet generation. It’s so sad when you realise that again and again

Greasy spoons would always gather up the community. Old folks, school kids, work men, business men, stoners and tourists looking for a cheap wholesome meal. You have these fancy Cafes that will charge 6 quid for a bacon roll, whereas if I just walk 10 min up the road I can get one, that tastes fresher, for 2-3 quid at my local greasy spoon

As you know it was the best cafe in East London when Brian & family took it over from the former couple when it was the Flock Inn. His old place opposite Tate's was a cracking place for a cuppa and toast & dripping, and part of his success was he knew every customer & what they wanted.

I said“ well that’s what l want“ and was told again „well we don’t do them, do you want anything else…..l said no I fuggin don’t ….I,ll go to a proper fuggin cafe.

With one or two exceptions, these people don't smile and I am quite shocked at how dog-like some of these people are in the way they "go at" their food. No one really notices what they eat, it's just a mechanical process to shovel it away. Noticed also the primitive way of holding a knife and fork. I wonder if they interact with their loved ones in such a fashion. I put it down to an island mentality. No one behaves like this on mainland continental Europe
