A favourite cereal cant always be considered for your breakfast meals,

its what is found when the open door of your cupboard reveals.

The Shreaddies were nice last time I ate them, but put them away,

that is a few weeks ago now, and they have started to decay.

The same thing happened to the remains of my Coa? Coa Pops,

I going to rename them, now they look like soggy flops.

The Sugar Puffs used to sound when shaken made a racket,

now they are just stuck all together inside of the packet.

I thought that cooking the porridge you cant go wrong,

but as they are a couple of years old they do make a pong.

There is still some Wheatabix there are as old as religion,

put them out on the window cill to be eaten by the pigeon.

I think I will have to settle for a slice of bread and dripping,

or boil an egg, or some toasted soldiers to use for dipping.

I cant stock up the cupboard again yet, my pensions is all spent,

most of it went on the necessities like Gas Electric and Rent.

Oh and don't forget the cost of tins food for my pet cat,

she really appreciates it, she?s left me a present on the mat.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
