School Dinners - Grrr!

[boxtops]

What a stupid reporter on BBC TV News just now, on the school dinners article. Interviewing a small boy, he said he liked everything about school dinners - the reporter said "what, even cabbage and carrots?" The boy replied "Yes" and the silly woman responded "Well, I don't think so!" Calling him a fibber on national television - how about that the boy LIKED vegetables, you daft bat? Grrr!

Boxy, give me six year olds any day - I will understand them far better than anything Peter writes on here.

Obnoxious remark!!

Call the Nit Nurse ^^^^ mamya's having trouble!

[Mamyalynne]

No trouble here, but I despair at some of the things I read and whilst talking about primary school children too.

[Peter Pedant]

not that far from the truth.

as far as weird goes, I score myself at around 1/2 out of ten Media URL: http://www.gistmania.com/talk/topic,203030.0.html

1932 on Tues, mamya, didn't notice it was that far back!

[boxtops]

Not at six, peter. That remark was really inappropriate.

[Mamyalynne]

You really are a ridiculous man!!

People say they despair of the youth of today - if you think you are setting an example then lord help them.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes, Peter - so you can cast remarks like that about on a thread about school dinners?


Just who are you trying to impress or shock?

[Mamyalynne]

Gotcha Baldric - the 'nit' typo lol

[boxtops]

Urgh, the only time I had to stay behind for not eating my pudding was tapioca-related :-(

I'd be mighty displeased if I was the boy's mum or dad. People think they can say anything to kids.

[Mamyalynne]

Broccoli is popular in this house and my celery soup goes down well.

[B00]

I loved school dinners!

[Obiter]

The trouble with celery is that when I was young it was white with yellow flowers and had a delicate taste. Today it is green and bitter. Is it possible to get white celery anymore?

[jno]

might be partly your taste buds, Obiter, I think the bitter ones develop after childhood so you'd notice it more than you used to. But yes, lost of food has changed over the years.
