I can’t be off topic on an off topic thread. That’s two negatives! We’ll have to post purely about dinners for schoolkids now.

I think schoolkids should be allowed to eat dinner.

Someone’s got to pay for them, you cunt! You’re either paying for schooldinners, or you’re paying for funerals when all these kids starve to fkn death. Take ur choice.

If they starve to death, it would sort out the education funding crisis, which means I wouldnt have to send my kids (if I had them) to private school.

I had free school dinners. I think it’s really important to be properly fed and watered even if your family don’t have much money. And it made me more likely to put the effort in, for example, in physical education sessions towards the end of the day.

I still apply that theory now, in particular when going on dates.

Typical fkn tory scum. Yes, obviously if a load of kids starved to death that would solve a lot of problems, but think it through! What would happen to the mountain of surplus toys & dairylea lunchables that will no longer be needed? Shall we come dump them on ur fkn front lawn? Is that what you want u fkn nimby?

Don’t make me grass on you! (Because since bloke up the road lectured me on grassing, I’m psychologically disturbed by it).

Let me tell you I had some brilliant posts lined up, but what’s the point now? The moment has gone. They were almost as good as The Best Ever Pelle Joke.

Perhaps this whole sorry episode is a lesson to us all that, in fact, kids shouldn’t even get a lunch break let alone eat an actual lunch for free. I mean, look what’s happened to me, I pop out for a few turkey twizzlers and then come back to find the entire paradigm has shifted and what I thought was reality has been tranformed into some sort of totalitarian nightmare.

Well in post-war Britain of the '50s very few kids got free dinners. Food rationing had just ended and all us little kids we were just grateful to have our parents pay 2/- 9d dinner money for the week’s school scran, even though it was shit. Did we complain? Nope…shit was better than nothing, we threw it at kids on the adjoining tables anyway.

Deserts were good though, lots of crumbles with custard and jellies you could liquidise by sucking them backwards and forwards through the gap between your teeth…great fun.

So what did we get from those days? Pesonally I got an enduring hatred of cabbage, swede and turnips so it wasn’t all bad.

To yourself or to the date in question?

I had free school dinners (and milk) as late as the early 80s. I used to enjoy the puddings more but still have a fear of prunes and custard…

Prunes and Custard - why, just why?

Semolina - wall paper paste would be a better option

Best were jam donuts and custard, suet jam roly poly and custard, spotted dick and custard, trifle and custard
