Always put Mummy's old giro cheques to good use

Ketchup butties

or Irn Bru.

i.e. fruit

Double Take biscuits are second only to Sainsbury's Polar biscuits in supermarket rip-off chocolate biscuits.

With you on the Spam butties thing though.

is good food

'dinner' to me is evening food.

OK, so no kid had 2litres imitation Coke for lunch...

My answer is changed to: 10p crisps (usually Chipsticks or Tangy Toms, because Transform-A-Snack were actually pretty good)

No matter how many times I told mother I hated it, I still got it. Bloody woman.

I was glad when I just got given a bit of money each day instead and we'd mosey on down to Sainsbury's and buy our own cobs and meat and a bag of crisps and sit on the benches and eat them. Great days.

was so excited about having grown my own cress in a tub of cotton wool that I insisted on having a full complement of cress-stuffed sandwished that day.

I vom'ed.

our primary school was full of scrubbers (hi!) so you could smell the corned beef from a mile off.

Panda Cola was also a hit, I seem to recall.

with Lard

we couldn't afford lunchables. everyone else was solidly middle class and had them at least occasionally. i had to start packing my own lunch once i was eight anyway, though, so no matter. i could never be bothered to do it the night before and i never had time in the morning, so basically i never managed to take one anymore.

or cookies.

i'm guessing. My primary school was posh and old fashioned.

all the "poor" kids got free school meals.

so - little plastic bags with white bread sandwiches, fruit and yoghurts. or a pre-jamie oliver salt-and-carb-fest from the canteen.
