Having been kicked out of the house by the plumbers (new boiler), it was disappointing to find Diamond Dogs still sweeping outside. I thought 9.15 was late breakfast. It’s all variations on a theme, but checking out alternatives — Australian, builders, big, small — was hard work.

Anyway. The Chorlton Eatery is next to what the Manchester Evening News has named the country’s worst designed bus stop (the one that juts into Barlow Moor Road at Chorlton Cross). I was served a very well presented Big Vegetarian Breakfast, greatly enhanced by including waffles and hash browns (if you like one you’ll like the other, so why don’t we see this combination more often?).

The only problem (and it’s the same wherever you go in Chorlton) is small, noisy, out of control children, crying out for a good slap. The natural sugars in their pure fruit smoothies are clearly just as evil as the refined stuff that fuels Fanta.
