Scotts porridge oats is the traditional favourite over here but there are other makes nowadays. My Father in Law is 86 and has porridge every morning for breakfast. He makes it the old traditional way in a large pot but you now get the microwave porridge in different flavours too. Just add milk and pop in the microwave for 2-3mins and its pretty tasty and quick. I like a little cold milk on top once cooked. I enjoy porridge once or twice a week for breakie. It keeps the hunger away for most of the day too. Dave Oats....

Leather Tuscadero was her character. I remember it well. Tom Hanks also played a part in one episode when he was very young. Think he was trying to kill Fonzie for some reason. ? Robin Williams as Mork was also in it. Mork and Mindy was a Happy Days spin-off. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smalls Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 The main thing I remember about Happy Days was that despite the huge attempts by Henry to make the Fonz cool, he was saddled with that awful leather jacket with rounded collar and elasticated waist... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 I thought his image was perfect for the character to be honest. Don't think a hardened biker image would have worked for that kind of show. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
