Tea and Biscuits for breakfast?

Being new to the UK, I find it interesting that my BF has tea and biscuits most mornings.

I don't think I knew anyone back in the states who had cookies for breakfast as often if ever, but I did know a few who'd have coffee and doughnuts. Cookies in the States are not thought of as anything other than a snack or dessert item, so to me it's just so strange to have an entire meal consist of them.

So this morning when we made morning tea, he picked up the biscuits as he does and I said "What would you eat for breakfast if you didn't have biscuits?".
So now I'm posting this to see if his stout defence of this as a common occurrence in England is true.

How many of you enjoy this?

If anything I'd be going with the American preference if I had the choice.
Although in the absence of doughnuts (or a full cooked English), I'd usually just have coffee and toast

Do it if im in a rush, but most mornings its either toast and a brew or pick up a couple sausage butties and a brew from the local shop.

Brew and biscuits are usually for when watching telly, have a nice dip of said biscuit in the brew Smile

Mind you, we don't eat pankakes with syrup on them for breakfast. That's a dessert for after dinner.

By way of breakfast I have a fag on my way to work and a cup of tea when I get there. I then try and grab a sandwich at about 11.30.

I know of noone who has biscuits for breakfast.

That's what I used to have most mornings back in the secondary school days. A nice cup of tea and some rich tea biscuits. But nowadays I am hardly ever up in time for breakfast so just go straight into having lunch. Maybe eggs and bacon or something like that.

Tea and crumpets for tea-time anyone? Cor blimey. Razz

I've been known to occa sionallyhave coffee and biscuits for breakfast in the absence of having any breakfast-type ingredients in. That's only on weekends though. I never have time for breakfast in the week.

My mum, however, always used to have tea and biscuits for breakfast until she started dieting (about 15 years ago and counting)!

I'll occasionally 'reallocate' a couple of packets of custard creams that we are supposed to hand out to the detainees if I've not had a chance to grab anything from the canteen in the morning. It's not a very satisfying breakfast though, and I wouldn't usually dream of it at home.
