Very envious. Wish it was mine getting done ;-)

I hated school dinners full stop :-( :-(

Afternoon Everyone :-D <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I had to go to the West End this morning, to pick something up. Gawd it was orrible!
Made a swift exit and got home as soon as possible.

I might have guessed that LG, Tony Adams to go into Strictly. ;-)

I quite liked Tottenham cake, it's in me blood you see, my Nan came from there. :-D :-D

Afternoon everyone :-)

I have never heard of or seen this cake although I have eaten many school dinners.
We had something similar ie. Sponge spread with jam, then sprinkled with coconut, but definitely no icing on it.

Once I got beyond junior school, where mutton and dry butter beans seemed to be all too frequently delivered in big steel containers from some faraway depot, grammar school dinners, cooked fresh on the premises were very good.

MG he should do well if he dances as well as he played :-D

Gwyn…I went to Secondary school and all our meals were cooked on site, huge kitchen area and dinner was served in two sittings :-D :-D :-D

The cooks were better cooks than me mum….I wonder who I take after :-D :-D

Von….steady on girl…2 days in a row <3 <3 :-D

Waves to Myfanwy…am doing exactly the same till I have to run S down to pick up his van :-0

Afternoon all :-)

That's it Ann... It all depends on the cook.

My nearest primary school here, where my 3 children attended had a wonderful cook, who made her own bread rolls to go with something like a salad. She won awards for her cooking in the area school dinner assessments.
The present one, many years later is very good too.
Other primary schools in the area were varied.
One in particular served grey mushy cauliflower too often for my liking, so I always took a packed lunch, if I had to work there.

Good afternoon to one & all, oh my what a heat, it's so hot here I am melting, trying to work in the garden but not getting very far! lol.

Joan.

Joan

You know what they say….Only Fools and Englishmen :-D :-D

Ann don’t worry I’m project managing ;-) ;-)

I thought you might be Von….Hope tea n cake is being served :-D :-D

Afternoon Joan <3 :-D

It is a tad warm :-0

Do you have a special hat, Von ;-) :-D :-D

Affernoon all :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Ann, I think it's 'Mad Dogs and Englishmen and there's a song :-D

I went to nun school where dinners were cooked on site by slaves. Cake and custard was a favourite as bowls could be stacked in layers with the pud in between ready to squelch out when the unfortunate pupil on dinner duty picked them up :-0

I think you are correct Island…don’t know where that came from…I blame the heat as opposed to diminishing brain cells
:-D :-D :-D

Evening….will wait <3 <3

Evening Ann :-D <3
