I'd never eat it in "diners" ( UK cafes) because their quality of
"all day breakfasts" is generally cheap ingredients badly cooked a while
ago and kept warm.

We occasionally cook and eat a full British breakfast at home; usually
at the weekend.

It's also served in many UK hotels and guest houses. Quality places to
stay are judged and advertised on the excellence of the cooked
breakfast; we pick places to stay based on its breakfast reputation
because we *are* going to eat it. One of the joys of being on holiday,
freshly cooked to order from top-notch ingredients.
