    Tonight for dessert, we had fresh mango, and for breakfast this morning I had fresh raspberries on my (alarmingly expensive) museli.
    Well when it comes to muesli, you do get what you pay for. Which brand do you go for Barry? I feel a muesli purchase coming on, not had any in ages.

    Either:



    or



    They have become quite expensive of late (now £4.10 a packet), but often the local Co-op will sell them as a loss leader for £2.50 a packet. When the reductions occur, I will 'stock up'. Otherwise I may buy museli ifrom Holland and Barrett, to which I will add a mixture of nuts.

    I will look out for them. I don't know if Co-op is having an upturn in fortunes, but several new stores have been appearing round here lately, and existing ones getting a facelift.

    I'm the opposite - dislike Weetabix (as when it soaks up the milk it becomes a 'pap'); but I do like Shredded Wheat (the ones that look like a giant 'Brillo Pad'. ) However Shredded Wheat is part of Nestlé - and I tend to boycott Nestlé goods.

    Sour grapes because nobody invited you to be the next Milky Bar Kid I reckon. You need to put that behind you and move on. Did you ever get to try that 'Mr Choc' you once mentioned?

    I fell out of love with them after they stopped being Nestle's and told us to start calling them Nest-lay. I don't like being told what to do
