10 struggles all porridge addicts will understand

Porridge is a way of life.

PORRIDGE IS THE greatest of all breakfast foods. But hey, you don’t have to eat it for breakfast.

1. You have a loyalty to a brand you’ll stand over with your life

You deal in Flahavan’s or Quakers… but this is all they have left.
