I recall while playing darts in London as a young lad a score of a treble 5, treble twenty and treble 1 being referred to as a champagne breakfast, an upgrade on the original term but it was purely that and has no other direct link to the cost of a ‘champagne breakfast’.īelow are just some of the terms used. This expression or saying is based on the cost for bed and breakfast in the early part of the twentieth century, the cost being 2s 6d (two shillings and sixpence) in old English money. This score is sometimes referred to as ‘bed and breakfast’ or BB for short.
Probably the most famous dart saying is for a score of 26! Usually a throw consisting of a single 5, single 20 and a single 1.

Trump is not known for magnanimity in defeat. If he’s doesn’t win the nomination, he and his base will do their spiteful best to stop DeSantis or anyone else from winning the election. If Trump does win the nomination, he’ll take the Republicans down to a quite historic defeat, in a presidential contest that should be theirs for the winning. Trump may do all this again, but not so easily, and this time with the Murdoch media – including the unhinged Fox News – much more hostile than before.
