School breakfasts help children go the distance
When Ferret were a lad in the dim and distant 1980s school breakfasts largely consisted of a slice of white toast, bowl of soggy cornflakes or porridge masquerading as wallpaper paste.

Options available to Hertfordshire secondary school pupils now include rolled croquet monsieur, banana split granola, date and cinnamon bloomer, vegetarian breakfast bruschetta, brioche baps and porridge pots. However, Ferret’s personal favourite is avocado, bacon and eggs with toasted cheese soldiers.
