Porridge on my breakfast menu

IN response to Mrs Danielle Shuttleworth’s letter 
(Yorkshire Post, September 22), the said lady’s meals sound delicious but I would like to 
point out that porridge is 
one of the most nutritious, 
filling and fibre-rich breakfasts you can eat (she omits to say 
what her children have for breakfast).

I think rice pudding is a delicious dessert. I am not a 
lover of sardines but I believe 
they are classed as an oily 
fish and therefore good 
for you.

So, please don’t cast these valuable foods to one side. There is nothing wrong with them as part of your diet.

APPARENTLY nobody has a full English breakfast any more (Life and Style, Yorkshire Post, September 25).

My mother told me that if I didn’t eat my fat bacon, eggs and sausages cooked in lard I might faint at school. Her theory was reinforced one day when a classmate keeled over during prayers.

I couldn’t wait to get home 
to announce that Herbert Nettleship hadn’t had his breakfast.

Bible bias in Broad Acres

From: John Gordon, Whitcliffe Lane, Ripon.

MR DN Mason, writing from Tenerife (Yorkshire Post, September 25), asks me to give 
an unbiased opinion of John 3:16-18.

I consider it a very fine 
text, whichever translation 
you use. But of course I am biased. If Mr Mason returns to Yorkshire, he will find that many people who have come to live here are biased in another direction.

It is they who consider the Bible to be history.
