Monday

• Fish o chip

Tuesday

• Soup / soup

Wednesday

• This Isn’t Roast Chicken, taters, yorkies, carrots, peas / Cottage pie & veg

Thursday

• Filled pasta & sauce / Filled pasta & sauce

Friday

• Chilli & rice / Fish o chip

Saturday

• Beyond Burgers, salad, coleslaw

Sunday

• This Isn’t Hunter’s Chicken, jackets, brocolli

Those days with a / have next week’s meal. Usually something quick as we’re both working late. Beyond Burgers as they were on offer otherwise we always have Linda McCartney Burgers. Chilli and Cottage pie usually made with This Isn’t Beef Mince or lentils. Filled pasta is veggie.

Maybe eggs, never cheese as lactose intolerant with the salad but otherwise pescatarian. I spent 40 odd years suffering before realising milk and it’s by products don’t agree with me. And it it gorse worse as I got older.

Ha! Usually it’s home cooked. McCains chips and breaded cod, or sometimes fish cakes and peas. That way it’s guaranteed to be skinless and wife won’t eat other fish. Monday this week is from The Sea Tree in Ware as we have family here. Don’t do that so much now as quite expensive but it is excellent.

If they did a vegan version like I had in Brick Lane, I’d opt for that.

In a few weeks we have 4 days at Haven’s Hopton site. As both of us are ‘older’ and demands aren’t that much and money is tight, we can go out of season. In another few weeks the price will have gone up over £1k. Don’t know how some people (especially with kids) manage it.

Thank you - we are lucky enough at the moment to not really need it. I’m 67 and still working (albeit part time) and she has a few years before retirement, but if either of us had to give up it would really hurt. Considering I have state pension, and ones from 20 years at BT and 17 in the Army, you’d think we’d be OK. We should be. That was how it was supposed to work.

I will follow your advice though and see what gives - we’re currently downsizing at the moment as we will not be able to afford the rent here in a couple of years.

Could be because they turn out shite, overpriced and gimmicky alcopops.

Sometimes it takes a while. It took nearly 2 years before Daisy would sit on my lap - but only if I have her special blue blanket on my lap first! https://feddit.uk/pictrs/image/dae6e514-77b8-41c1-b6a8-a35b445d0b06.jpeg

No doubt we’ll get protesters from nowhere near the school, jumping up and down and threatening violence because the religious rights of children they don’t have, are being destroyed by blasphemers and kaffirs.

They knew the school was non religious when they signed up. Don’t start complaining now.

Very sensible. We shouldn’t be relying on good old Uncle Sam, he may well throw us under the tank bus anyway.

I was thinking that.

If the staff don’t hand over the hot and tasty* baked goods until payment has been received, how can they be stolen? Unless it’s a sausjack.

Makes me think of Monty Python’s highway man sketch.

There’s a French lady, Madam something or other that might help out here. Seriously though, there really needs to be severe action taken on these companies, and as Lemming421 said, stuff the shareholders, it’s their pure greed and arrogance that has led us here.

Crime capital of the world? Its nowhere near it.

Apart from that, they are implying the (conservative, themselves) government has no control over law and order whatsoever.
