Any child able to use a smartphone, or games console, can make such a breakfast.<br /><br />Perhaps I should "check my privilege" or something?<br /><br />elleemmceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06910427114068396180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-56286324146342839662016-10-13T22:41:24.991+01:002016-10-13T22:41:24.991+01:00When I was going to Primary School, Lo, those many...When I was going to Primary School, Lo, those many decades ago, I went after scarfing either a bacon sarnie (with one slice of bread dipped in the bacon fat), or a slice of toast and dripping or, on Mondays, a sarnie of cold beef made from the remnants of the Sunday roast. Towards the end of the week it was melted cheese on a slice of toast which saw me start the school-day.<br />My Mum fed me.
