We often have them to add colour if the plate looks too bland.

I try to eat peas once a day so I'm firmly in the 'with' camp

Either is fine - depends whether or not you like peas

Peas should never be on any plate, they are the devils food.

Is it that the "no" person doesn't like peas? Or that they don't think anyone should have peas with a roast? The first is fair enough, the second is ridiculous!

Technically no - it should be greens. Peas are too sweet. But meh if that is what your family like!

Yes they should be on there, but not the only vegetable - should be at least 3 different ones

Peas are fine as part of a roast dinner. If No person makes the dinner then they can leave the peas off.

Only if there's nothing more interesting to have.

I once roasted pickled onions to have with a roast dinner, as someone was adamant that they were delicious. I queried the 'pickled' bit, but they were certain.

They were not delicious. Not in the slightest. Peas would definitely have been better.

With lamb- fine, the mint and sweetness goes well. Not on any other roast though

DH likes marrowfat peas. I like garden peas. Both can appear on a roast as an accompanying vegetable. But not together.

Yes. You can never have too many types of vegetables with a roast dinner. The more the merrier.

I love peas so yes. When I was had it was always mushy peas but I tend to have garden. Always a choice at the carvery near us.
