The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

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! 🔫

My mum was a dinner lady as well..at my school

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

Parents create the problem, they have to deal with it, seems reasonable

Or 5 woodbines and a penny book of matches. Sometimes we had to share a biggie if we were desperate.

Yes, thought Park Drive were a bit "posh", we had woodbines too, in my day. There were even shops that sold them as single "tabs", for the financially challenged.

I went with the older girl from next door.

Ahh I remember getting my dessert from the girl next door. She had nice puddings.
Her dumplings were quite good too.

I liked the pink custard. Remember sago? We called it frog spawn.

Mrs D tells the story of when her and her school mates went into the bog to share one fag. When it was her turn she dropped the fag into the bowl. She was not the most popular 14 year old girl.
