My grandmother was a dinner lady. Kids used to remember her on the high street decades after she retired. She was the queen of seconds and thirds.

People keep talking about school meals and puddings back then but there were not many fat kids back then and we were full of energy. <br>No " E " numbers no preservatives no chemicals just fresh food and since the 70s our government have been destroying our kids with corporate craps processed foods full on chemicals. We should all sue them for abuse of power.
