Just proving (s)he can multitask by trying to wind us up on more than one thread, I think.
Seriously - and I thought the fact that my husband keeps me meant I was the one with too much time on my hands.

Er, I'm already subscribed to the thread.
Commented on it up somewhere near your post about you "reprimanding" the Asians.

In the UK there is weetabix.
In Aus, there is weetbix. (note that the "a" is missing).
They taste different, and it is probably down to the missing letter "a".

Seriously though, are the imported Whole Wheat Biscuits really like weetabix in the UK? My daughter won't eat weetbix here. I am also looking for proper Readybrek - the quick cooking oats and Uncle Toby's are all too lumpy.

Well whatever they're called. Both make me shit through the eye of a needle
Are weetabix or weetbix meant to be laxatives - cos they are for me
How the heck does any child manage to get to school of a morning is beyond me
