The egg banjo is runny fried egg in a bap or sandwich. It is referred to as an egg banjo because when the the consumer bites into it and egg yoke drops down their shirt, they end up holding said egg banjo away from themselves with 1 hand and trying to rub off the spilled mess with the other. Creating the appearance that they are playing an imaginary air banjo... Hope that helps! 3 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Map Now that is cheating you are a serving member of HM forces and we all know a banjo is something all 3 services have in common. They are absolutely wonderful when coming off guard at 2 am in the morning in January. The big question is with red or brown sauce? Or both? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runny fried egg between 2 slices of buttered bread, preferably with a liberal application of brown sauce.

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 10, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Thinking back to my drinking days while I was in the army. My mate Chas and I had a burger named after us. On the walk back to Southampton bus station there was a burger van and we use to ask for a double cheese egg mushroom and pineapple burger with onion. After a couple of months of us asking for them the chap running the van use to have on his board a "Squaddie Burger ".

RMweb Premium Northmoor Posted March 10, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 10, 2019 A friend went to a music festival where the burger van sold plain burgers, cheese burgers and "disco burgers" for about £1, £1.30, £1.50 or something. He asked for a disco burger and got handed something that looked very like a cheese burger. He asked, "where's the disco?" and the bloke in the van took out a torch from under the counter and started flashing it at him. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Clive Mortimore Posted March 11, 2019 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Nothing happened on the layout or modelling bench last night. Partly because I was knackered from doing work in the paddock and partly because I was angry that yet again a thread with loads of good modelling has be hijacked by the league of I speak posher English than you. Wot the 'ell has any of that tosh to do with toy trains. There is some good news, Kelli and Peyton have written some new songs.

Brit15 Hi Brit 15, Tha's frum jus' darn frum't cut ut Nuo Lawrne, 'tuther sarde o' Boscurgh frum't Wigin. The above vernacular explains why my Wiganese is not quite to the standard of ones own. I did however used to occasionally get to ride the 103 / 105 Hybrid back form Preston on the top line when attending college there in the late 1980's.
