A biscuit in the morning, along with 2 pints of water on the commute and then a bacon butty when i get to work...

If its just a mile or two i wouldn't bother. I would probably have a banana and that would fill me up till lunch time. Nobody can tell you what to eat, your body knows best.

That depends on what you eat at night! It's better to eat a light dinner early enough that it has been well-digested before you go to bed.
It is perfectly correct to say that sugary cereals (or sugary anything) give a blood-sugar spike followed by a dip.
The best way to eat is to avoid anything with refined sugar and refined carbs.
For breakfast, I have a banana + porridge oats without sugar - the oats combine with the sugar in the banana to form a complex carb that provides blood sugar slowy, thereby avoiding the spike/trough that makes you feel hungry and lacking in energy - I can go for miles and miles on that particular concoction!
Also, fresh fruit, raw nuts and as much raw veg as possible are important, with brown rice or wholewheat pasta. Mostly vegetarian food with a bit of good quality meat thrown in. And lots of fish.
Plus no alcohol, late nights or cigarettes or anything like that. No fizzy pop, no cakes, no crisps, etc.

Sometimes I like marmalade, sometimes marmite.
