I might have recalled this before, but its worth another iteration.
Met Office Leeming and also Topcliffe, 0500 hours, autumn routine, mid 1960s.
Observer, having sent off the 0500 ob. carts off over the airfield and returns with great bag of 1 minute old mushrooms. Perfunctory rinse.
Meanwhile LB has frying pan on, and coffee brewing.
Fried egg, bacon, tomato, mushrooms , buttered toast and coffee for two in SMetO's office at 0515. No tablecloth and candles but ................. !
Brief weathership/ duty pilot c. 0600, him probably subsisting on tea and toast or indeed fresh air.
I got the impression my audience was somewhat distracted.
