How is it that I countenance such behaviour for my first meal?

indeed, aren't Kiwi kids, weetbix kids?

I did go through a weetbix stage. I was a four-a-day man.

Toast with tinned mackeral for me - with copious tabasco... that wakes me up!!

Toilet roll in the fridge ?

I know a consultant oncologist who will not allow any of his family to eat weetabix.
You do the maths.

Meusli! A man (or woman) is what he/she eats for breakfast! Obesity could be cut to nil if everybody started the day on meusli.

Research proves that the obese regularly miss breakfast and spend the rest of the day catching up. Meusli should be compulsory! Vote for meusli! You know it makes sense!
(Don't you just love that manic grin?)

Meusli - is that like raw porridge ?

Meusli the bottom of a rabbits hutch with milk.

Breakfast for me is a constant ritual and change is never contemplated, I am in a rut which I enjoy.

I rise at 5.45am and take breakfast at 6.15am.

It consists of a bowl half filled with organic uncooked porridge. I drop a teaspoonful of malt whisky into the porridge. I then add half of a sliced banana, half a sliced pear and 8 red grapes and a lacing of sultanas. Mrs Mick consummes the other half of the fruit.

I then pour semi skimmed milk over it and listen to radio four and this sets me up until lunch.

This is washed down with a large cup of freshly made coffee, brewed in the Gaggia with freshly ground coffee beans.

I take porridge with me when travelling abroad whilst on holiday as I insist on the organic stuff.

If I stay in an hotel overnight on business, I always have hot porridge laced with whisky.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and should not be skimped.

Do you use a measure for the teaspoon of malt whisky - or do you "estimate" it?

I ask merely for information.

If you want to lose weight, just drop the rest of the breakfast and have a whisky with your coffee.

To be honest I just pour a drop, I am quite good at estimating how much is a spoonful after doing it for 20 years.

I had this at work last week. 92 kg of dairy cream in a caramel mix. That's four buckets with 20 and one with 12. Not hard. QA turn up, and watch me pour the stuff into the buckets.

"You have not weighed it."

"No."

First full bucket 20.18 kg. "Do you want me to weigh the rest."

"Only the part," which came out at 11.98 kg.

So Mick I reckon after 20 years you probably can mearure a teaspoon out. But who would blame you if you slipped in a table-spoon's worth!

I have museli with orange juice as I don't do milk, but this only gets me Radio 5 Live and it fades out by 11.

My breakfast is often a cup of super-strong coffee (Fairtrade Ethiopian mostly) and a Lucky Strike or two.

During the winter I may have porridge with full-cream milk, some vanilla pods and a spoonful of honey (none of this water/salt crap one gets from Porage fundamentalists).

If I go into work I will often have a massive fry-up if I am hungover, a big bowl of fresh-fruit salad and Greek yoghurt if I am not.

mmmm - vanilla pods. Just smelling them is divine.

Today I have broken the two slices with marmalade rule and am having four slices instead.

My first step along the road to morbid obesity. I've decided that a goal driven life is for me.

Raw oats (usually organic), dried fruit (usually date), chopped nuts (usually brazil) and semi-skimmed milk. Tea.

Old habits die hard.
