I worked in the Little Chef during holidays and whatever while at college and university and yes, the English Breakfasts had beans on them.
I'm a vegetarian so I'd never eat one, but I've seen thousands of these being made.
You can't define a Full English Breakfast because different places make them differently.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_breakfast"A full breakfast is a breakfast meal that typically includes bacon, sausages, eggs and a beverage such as coffee or tea."
Fine, beans aren't the main source of what makes an English Breakfast and English Breakfast, it's the meat. Doesn't mean other stuff stops it being an English Breakfast.
On a yahoo image search of "Full English Breakfast" the first 14 searches have beans on them, 15 doesn't, 16-45 have beans on them.
Sorry, but an English Breakfast can have beans on them.
