    We got really good, homemade school dinners in the 70s plus the morning milk. Sorry for the rubbish children get today on their plastic trays. I still enjoy chocolate concrete and cornflake tart!

    My God that brings back some great memories of school dinners in the 70's. I can remember the wonderful smell as you went into the dinner hall and the taste of those school dinner sausages, they tasted like no other sausages, I used to love them, and mashed potatoes and cabbage. Great, great days, the happiest ever. Oh and the sponges and custard and the semolina and the red juice that they kept in those metal jugs, they also used for water.

    Seems they could all use a knife and fork in the correct way. You don’t see that often with school kids now. They almost all start primary school not knowing how to use a knife and fork at all.

    Look how orderly and well behaved those kids are. It was probably such a big deal to those kids that day being filmed. I bet the teachers asked them to be on their best behaviour for the camera. Bless 'em. How time flies, I was most probably sitting in my very similar school dinner hall having my school dinner when this was made, a young kid with not a care in the world, now I'm an old man, a Grandfather sitting in front of my laptop watching this lovely time capsule.
    This used to be such a beautiful country, gone to the dogs now...given away.

    this is obviously a private school, children in uniforms in the 70's was private or parochial school. That being said, ofcourse they were served great meals and they are eating on actual dishes using real utensils not plastic. Public schools didn't have it this good. Plus in private schools , lunch is included in the tuition. Some public school students didn't eat back in the day if they didn't have lunch money.

      the demographic statement didn't need to be stated. However..... I will say that this isn't exactly what was being served in public schools in the 70's ( I am a product of that generation) we weren't eating on real dishes and using real utensils but yes the food was better , not frozen or prepackaged.
