Never had avocados in England? They can be found in Asda, definitely not posh I am glad they seem to be used extensively here though. One of my very favourite foods.

I haven't found anything new yet, but I am really looking for new breakfast cereals, the few I have tried so far are pretty horrid, I might have to stick to cornflakes for the rest of my life if I don't find something else soon.

I normally love that, except this time of the year, when clear sky at night means a very cold night.

Most of them have a consistency similar to sawdust.

I've had the sliced version in the UK; haven't been able to get it round here lately sliced or otherwise, but I shall give Woolies a go soon

Exactly. Sawdust, but very sweet tasting sawdust. Yuk, I hate sweet.

Woolworths: (Victoria Point) $2.24 for 300gm Soreen loaf

I bought two, but I just noticed that one of them is called Soreen fruity five

That's new to me...

Some of the Coles branches up here do Alpen and Weet-a-bix, worth looking out for them

I like Alpen but not seen it so far, not a weetabix fan, would love to find fruit and fibre, the Uncle Toby thing I thought would be similar was very disappointing to say the least.
