    I was sat in a greasy spoon in Leeds Market. There was a fella at the till who was complaining that the bacon sandwich he ordered is on a bread cake/roll rather than sliced bread. He then goes on to explain he’s never tried a bread roll before and sandwiches should be on slices of bread. He was probably late 50s.
    What everyday thing have you managed to avoid trying your entire life?

    I always wonder at what point does a cafe change from a normal one to a greasy spoon?

    I can't stand the smell either. I can (now) eat coffee and walnut cake, but I'll never drink coffee because of the smell.

    I think its genetic.
