I don't think I've ever seen a Greggs that's open on a Sunday.

No, but Gregg's is for carry-out only, anyway.

If you've got a JD Whetherspoon's chain near you, I think they're open for brekkie on Sunday.  But I'm not 100% sure as Sunday mornings we go to Mass at 10 so if we do brekkie out it's usually a Saturday.

Don't get me started on everything that's wrong with Wetherspoons.   At one time, we used to like going to our local one for a cheap meal and a drink but we got so fed up with the bad service and them running out of everything all the time we now give them a very wide berth indeed.   As for their non smoking areas - in most of their pubs they are not separated from the smoking area at all, so you are still surrounded by people smoking.   There is a smoke free one here in Canterbury but if you have a child they won't let you sit anywhere except the "family area" which is 3 or 4 tables at the back which are usually full.  Grrrrrrr.

Sorry for the rant! back to the topic now!

Aw, our Wetherspoon's is nice and just up the road.  The family area is far from the smoking section and huge - and it'll all be non-smoking as of March, 2006 here as well. 

We go there for a cheap brekkie, altho my mom prefers a wee cafe a bit farther up the road and my dad found a 'greasy spoon' local cafe as well.

Wetherspoons in Belfast is notorious for being a 'spide' mecca, loads of fights and slabbering there.  :(

We dont have a Wetherspoons that I know of. The only place I can think of near us that would serve breakfast would be the Little Chef near the motorway.

PS. Im starving now!

Oh Man.  We used to live in Worcester MA, which is like the diner capital of the US.  I really miss going out on a Sunday morning for an omelette.  I used to really enjoy that.  It's something I always do first thing when I go to visit my parents.  

Oh, I just got back from MA (got off the plane about an hour ago actually), and we ate out at a diner one morning and I had a cheese omelette... absolute heaven. There really is nothing like diner food. We went out for breakfast about five times and it felt so nice and cozy and made the morning special. There really is nothing like it.

Wetherspoons - UGH!!
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Stella that is a BRILL website!  Almost as good as chavscum.co.uk!

Our Wetherspoon's is in a nice area and does a good brekkie.

Mmmmm, Pancakes and French Toast!  I think maybe I will have to hit IHOP sometime when I go to NY.  Ususally went late night after a night out in Boston.  But I love their Swedish pancakes!

I love going to Diners for Brunch (Day or night) I remember a place in Worcester I would go too when I visited a friend there.  The owner was her friend, we even got t-shirts.

I absolutely miss going out for breakfast. IHOP was always fun and getting a dozen donuts from Dunkin on Sunday morning with the paper and hot coffee . . . the memories make me smile.
I know I'm late - where's the booze?

American Hotels (like Marriot) tend to have Pancakes, etc. in their resturanuts.

I try to save money, but it is a tradtion for me to have brunch on Sunday mornings, after church. So, I pack up pancakes I make before service, and take it to have brunch in the park. Heavenly  8)

(except fo the bees!)

Let's take our wigs off in the shopi aisle and fight it out.

You know, with missing the feel of going out to breakfast -- how about the friendly waitresses, the ones who don't act like taking your order is an interruption of the far more important things they would be doing instead of waiting on your table?

Ok, that's not the road I meant to go down, what I really meant to write but got sidetracked in the thinking about favorite breakfast spots back home, was the way you'd get your coffee refilled from the pot, even if it was sh*t coffee, it was sh*t brewed coffee, and you'd get it constantly topped up. Ahhhhhh, sniff! Them were the days. LOL
