Anyone wanting an all day breakfast on the road can relax again: Little Chef has been saved. The chain of roadside restaurants was under threat after a series of ownership changes and the rise of healthy eating. I'm glad, as I used to enjoy the treat of a fry-up when driving to Cornwall or North Wales. We stopped at one near Ross on Wye en route to my graduation in 1985. I doubt that healthy eating is to blame for Little Chef's plight. Slow service is a more likely reason in today's rush-rush world.

I stopped using them years ago when I was refused a second cup with a cafetiere of coffee. We drank in turns and did not go back until a few weeks ago and found that they would sell coffee by the cup but it was as weak as ever.
And, Happy Birthday Ertblog.
