And there I thought we were talking about a 'greasy spoon'.  So called
because they had one spoon, which was used to spoon sugar out of the
only sugar bowl and then to stir the mug of strong milky tea (no coffee
in those days) the spoon usually tied to the table with a piece of
string. Served permutations of bacon, eggs, sausages, black pudding (if
yoy were lucky) and bread smeared with what passed for margarine; always
bread. Not many such basic eateries remain, probably for the better.

I feel that you are being a little unfair to Weatherspoons.
