Call that breakfast!

TS hobnobs with the movers and shakers of the accountancy world, so it’s no surprise that your illustrious newshound expects to be catered for in the manner to which this hack extraordinaire has been accustomed to ­ especially as we don’t earn enough to afford posh tucker.
After trudging to the impressive edifice of E&Y’s offices at More London Place with the prospect of the ‘famous E&Y breakfast’, TS was expecting to be greeted by a banquet worthy of Henry VIII.

Instead of shining silver tureens concealing an early morning tucker, TS ‘feasted’ on a (cold) croissant and was forced to pay attention instead of being diverted by the expected 4,000 calorie breakfast.
Despite UK revenues of more than £1bn last year, there wasn’t a bacon roll in sight at the Big Four firm’s plush offices.
Some of you out there may think TS is being a bit cheap at E&Y’s expense, but then again so was the breakfast.
