I can remember it clear as day - we all took turns being milk monitor at our school

Those small bottles of warm milk put me off milk for life :sick:

Teachers pet. I was too busy standing outside the headmasters office to monitor milk.

I seem to remember, as one of the first cohort of students at Stockton Sixth Form College, that Thatcher officially opened the college in 1973. There was a rumour that they planted a pile of trees at great expense to welcome the old witch, and then ripped them out again as soon as she buggered off. It was a long time ago though, and the memory is not what it was, so that could be absolute nonsense.

Turfed our by her own party in the end - her policies ripped communities apart in the north, some have never fully recovered

Who was it that moved the milk crate next to the radiator....:(

I remember in junior school when they would bring the crate of milk in to the classroom, used to be warm at times before we got to have our milk

And birds would peck through the milk tops. In winter there was sometimes ice inside too.
Still, as much as we might have gagged at it, to snatch the milk away from bairns was an horrendous act.

Or sat it in front of the window in full sun during the summer.

If she’s got her way we’d have had very little left of a welfare state

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

I wonder what the lock down would be like if she was in power today.
Inner cities abandoned?
Martial law?

 

[NYboro]

I remember going to London for a protest march over that. Totally evil woman.

Thatcher withdrew milk for children from schools in 1971. About fifty years ago.

So when did Labour restore school milk, can anyone remember?

As soon as our teacher said she needed two big strong lads to carry the crates from the yard into the corridor, she had a dozen volunteers.
We were pushovers in those days.
I'm talking about you Miss Tevlin.:love:
