For lovers of the UK breakfast cereal Weetabix. Produced in Northampton England . That may have been having problems finding it in the shops lately.

It has been withdrawn from Thailand owing to a marketing territorial dispute with a similar product from Australia .
However it has now reappeared on the shelves labelled differently but still the original product .

The good news it is now packed in 24"s and is cheaper .
I got mine from Tops in the center .

Wonder where they buy there Wheat from to make it ??

[jackspratt]

Probably their own backyard, Aa.

In some years the UK produces more wheat than Australia.

Your posts about Weetabix, brought back nightmare style memories of breakfast in the Forties....hated Weetabix as much as I did Shredded Wheat....uuuuurrrrrrr.
My favourite was Kellogs Cornflakes, with loads and loads of sugar !

I was ok with Weetabix, - it was the porridge in winter that I hated!

Saw it on the shelves at Tesco a couple of weeks back, but didn't buy it coz I assumed it was a copy and not the "real thing"

This may be a tadge pointless but i did have a 24 pack case of weetabix in the shop lasted all of a day bought by some guys who came together from K.Kean. - on the bright side some in the next container arriving approx 9 or 10th May. my fav was always rice krispies snap crackle n pop .

The variety packs Kellogs used to do were fab but our mam stopped buying them because of the scraps in our house over who was having what.
