Can you help identify this comic?

This query was sent to IMDB asking for help to identify a British comic from the 1980s. I have no idea and, so far, no-one else has either!
"Hi, I'm trying to find a comic magazine series that I had when I was a child. Cannot remember the name of it. It was a series for primary school aged kids. Each issue had lots of different comics in it.
I only had one in the series. In one comic a boy in Russia is sent by his mother to buy bread. So he is lining up to buy a loaf of bread. The line is so long. He is waiting about three days. It is snowing and freezing. When it is finally his turn to buy, he is asked if he wants this loaf or that loaf. He isn't sure which one his mother wanted so he says "I will go home and ask my mother."
In another comic in the same issue a boy skips school perhaps on the last day of school term. He is excited about the holidays which he calls "the holes." He is all happy thinking that he won't see the principal for another 6 weeks, but bumps into the principal who says "Not so fast."
In another a boy goes to use his "hole-in-the-wall card" so he can buy something.
In another some non-human comic characters in space suits are floating around in space. Possibly characters include a dinosaur and maybe a dog but not certain.
All these were in the same issue. I think it was UK published but not certain. I think currency in pounds. From 1980s, all in colour, thin and about A4 sized."
