It's supposed to be the most important meal of the day. But on average we spend just three minutes and 15 seconds on a weekday breakfast – and we're so pressed for time that we often eat it standing up. In fact, only half of us eat breakfast at all, research shows. Many prefer to have a lie-in, while others blame the growing pressure to get to work early. Only a third of us now eat breakfast in the kitchen. Some resort to eating it in the bedroom, or even the bathroom, with 22 percent getting dressed at the same time. Around a fifth manage to eat only half their breakfast because they have so little time, while more than a third say they eat their first meal of the day on the bus or train. |
