Eating fresh fruit

[presta]

It's funny how one incident can put you off eating something for ever. I don't eat Dairylea triangles after one incident of being sick after eating them. No idea if they were the cause but they got the blame. It's not proper cheese anyway.

I used to be seriously emetophobic as a kid, and as I also thought that eating anything I didn't like would make me sick, I was a very picky eater. Chewing a mouthful of meat once, I swallowed half of it and kept the other half in my mouth unaware that the two pieces were attached by a string of fat. It went down my gullet and back up again like a yoyo.

We were given a packed lunch involving a Sandwich, Orange, and a Banana which I duly ate at the 'lunch stop' then was herded onto the bus for the rest of the journey into Wales along narrow twisty/bumpy lanes, let's just say my packed lunch hadn't settled too well and made a startlingly rapid bid for freedom. It could have been food poisoning due to the packed lunch fermenting for 4 hours in a warm Coach but it was very traumatic for a 9yr old. (no doubt not pleasant for the other kids some of whom rapidly followed my example)

Aah yes, the aroma of the school bus by the end of a hot day, I remember it well.

Nay this wasn't a school bus but a coach to a week away at some sheds* at 'Devils Bridge' in Wales.

* billed as 'lodges' they were unheated wooden huts with 2 sets of bunk beds in each.

Worst 'holiday' ever without a sink/tap in the 'lodge' and with the 'toilet block' about 200 yards away

I didn't use a school bus in the sense of commuting to school, just for school visits and outings.
