I cannot find my usual Scotts porridge oats anywhere. I just like the original ones with nothing fancy added. If anyone sees them around in any store could you please let me know. I had given up on my crumpets when they disappeared and changed to porridge. Isn't it frustrating when this happens.

I bought some at Ileli about 2 weeks ago - they had a lot. They were on a special and displayed at the end of a row away from the other cereals. I also saw them at the original Tempo store in Girne (not the supermarket - the little store) about 3 weeks ago.
UPDATE - Sorry, I was in Ileli today and no sign of porridge.

Can't tell you about Scotts, but I do know that several of the cereals my husband and Iusea lot (porridge oats and the muesli that comes in different colour packagings, ) disappears from the shelves and we have to wait until another boat comes in with a ship load. This seems to apply toa lot of things, so maybe Ilelli has now sold out and waiting for the next load.
So I reckon no one has eaten it - and no one has been cooking it either, but all a case of 'when the boat comes in.;

Have only been able to find Shredded Wheat twice in 2 years and that was in Tempo. Haven't seen it for months now and whilst we're at it, who's bought out the supply of All Bran??

Was there a run on All-Bran then??

I guess there must be a blockage somewhere in the system Zebedee.

Probably that conniving, thieving little blonde bimbo, Goldie something or other, acts like butter would not melt in her mouth but I have her measure.

I am happy to use the turkish oats/yulaf produced by ETE, but even those can be as elusive as the English cereals. I now buy all there are on the shelf, same with my JACOBS filter coffee. I get strange looks at the check out!!! And, now don't blame me on the lack of things on the supermarket shelfs in Girne, I shop in Famagusta!!!
