to think maybe we are not middle class enough for Dorset Cereals

Just that really.

I bought their granola but have more or less given up on it. It's not that I dislike it but I am worried all the time that it will dislodge one of my fillings. DH tried it once and says it tastes like something meant for a budgie's cage. DD won't touch it with a barge pole. It is destined for the bird table.

I think it's overpriced and overrated. It's probably more MC to make your own :)

Do MC people have stronger (or fewer) fillings?

I like the Fabulously Fruity muesli, but not the granola.

Alpen is rabbit food, Dorset is 'munch' as the kids would say!

I have never eaten granola in my life.

I am more a bowl of frosties girl and will never be middle class.

Do you perceive it as 'middle class' because it's a bit expensive or because it's got 'bits' in? Interesting viewpoint, whatever your answer. Do you think you might be a bit, errrr, confused?

The LIDL one is much better...especially the one with cranberries in.

Is it like Alpen because that is vile!

In fact all cereal makes me heave, give me a bacon sandwich any day and sod the calories!

Don't like their granola, but love the Toasted spelt muesli, not as sweet as some of the other ones. Never thought of cereals as class related. Bought it first time as I once lived in Dorset!

I make my own and am completely up my own arse. Do I win a prize?

I make my own in several varieties. It helps me to be not too fat.

I've only tried it at the ILs and think is vile, Too sweet
Much preferred Fuel granola - the berry one but think it's generally overpriced. Sticking to porridge with cinnamon & raisins at least til the weather warms up.

Sainsburys own granola is LUSH

They do a tropical one with dried pineapple and coconut and it's my favourite cereal ever. £2.33 for a kg as well, a packet lasts almost a month if you have a handful with a bit of yogurt
