Hear, hear. almost the same????!!!!!

Why can't these bloody colonials realize that the motherland is correct in all matters of breakfast cereal, baked beans, bacon, sausages, pinky-winkies, chocolate, Tetley's tea, Trilly-Frillies and Royal Bloody Weddings???

I ask you!

Must just be here then as none of the supermarkets carry them,
Kamloops is clearly too classy for shops to carry weetabix

Eh?

My OH likes Weetabix and generally shops at Coopers foods or Superstore and never had a problem buying it here.

Bloody hell - is weetabix considered a rarity in some parts of Canada? Even our supermarket (yup - singular, with no competition for about 65km!) sells them

I'm in Toronto and have difficulty finding them! Those horrible flavoured minibix are around, but difficult to find proper weetabix - although when I do, I don't find any flavour difference, cardboard still tastes like cardboard!

Yep freely available in Kelowna and tastes the same to me although the copious amounts of sugar added probably masks the real weetabix taste

Most certainly hot.
But be careful - Canadian milk might not come from real cows like it does in the homeland and there might be added sugar or cinnammon (how do you spell it again - it looks odd any way I try it!).

I agree HOT milk and lashings of sugar (fake sugar will do). If the milk is too hot you can then add cold, especially if all the hot stuff has been soaked up.

Both. Hot milk makes it into "central heating" for adults.

Funny thing...I do the same with cornflakes too. But I need to add sugar when it's hot milk. No sugar, cold.

Wasn't that Ready Brek? Remember those adverts with the radioactive glow around the kids?
