The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

I've just got my £10 Christmas bonus

Spend it wisely

I'm sat in the garden centre at Countersthorpe with a coffee and egg on toast........

I'll beat @classic33 to it and say - 'That's a bit sloppy, innit?'.

They're doing staff training here, I ordered scrambled egg on toast and got fried egg on toast. I didn't bother sending it back, its the same price.

Clearly most excellent staff training there. The customer always gets what he is given not what he orders.

Lol. Back to our childhoods. You ate what was put in front of you or went hungry!

God knows how parents cope now. Kids seem to all like or dislike different things and get pandered to with separate meals, etc.

As you say we didn't get any choice. everyone ate the same thing at the same time and if you didn't eat it then someone else would and you'd have to do without.

......and no pudding if you hadn't finished the main course!

We only had pudding now and again or cake. You was posh.

Morning all (just)

Not been on here for ages, still sorting my late mum's house out.

Off to the Christmas market in Chester to drink beer, wasn't expecting to be dragged into m&s on the way though 🧐

My Mum was a dinner lady at my Junior school.
I used to have school dinner, then go home and have reheated school dinner leftovers in the evening.
It's a good job I liked school dinners!

I would have starved, mother and father both out at work and they both ate at work, I learned how to fend for myself from a very early age. They were both too busy to even take me to school on my first day and went with the older girl from next door.
