Whey Protein

Is whey protein on its own a good enough post workout or should you have whey protein and food ?

You can have whey protein, but you'd be wise to add a Carb source.

Some Powders have Carbs, but others can have Carbs added to them. The best things to use would be stuff like crushed Oats, Honey etc etc, or have something like Bread and Honey perhaps, or something like a Cereal.

You should try ON's Recovery Formula or Biotest Surge...

Both solid formula's for post workout recovery. However, I'd recommend a serving sipped during workout as well as a serving post if you are looking to gain lean mass.

would it be good to have whey protein and a couple of slices of brown bread ?

Yes, acceptable.

Do you think this is a good post workout 2 scoops whey protein,2 slices of brown bread,1 pint of milk and sometimes 1 whole egg.

No, don't have the milk, that will just increase Enzyme production, Casein content, calories and just slow the whole thing down more. You want that nutrition pretty fast to help you recover.

how about milk about 1-1 and half hours after post workout food 1 hour before i go to bed ?

Don't see much of a problem with that.
