    Did you eat a vegetable other than potato in the 5 years of high school?

    I'm sure I didn't.

    It's the thing Rashford is talking about - might be a UK thing but poorer kids would get a ticket worth some money so they could buy lunch every day in school.

    Yeah I don't know what it is but I assume it's for school dinners or something. So no.

    Also only just occurred to me that even though I call that meal lunch in my head they have to be "school dinners."

    I didn't, but I was probably eligible for one in the last year of school when my parents split up.

    We probably caught the Golden Age of school dinners during our years. Tony Blair had mandated that they had to be of a certain quality, but cunt Jamie Oliver wasn't on the case yet so you could still get burger and chips every day. Now they have Stasi-like operations to monitor what they're getting (all of which will be halal) and all sorts.

    Very true - every day for 5 years I'd have a combination of chips and curry/gravy/chicken burger/cheese burger/turkey burger (with mayo)/turkey drummers (extra cost) or on rare occasions rice and curry.

    Followed by a pop drink. Ate within 8 minutes before running outside to play football for the remaining 52 minutes of lunch.

    My parents used to talk about their school dinners like it was basically preferable to go hungry. They were great in my era circa 2000-2005. Turkey twizzlers being banned was the beginning of the end for British liberty. Princess Diana wouldn't have stood for it.

    Drink from the vending machine then straight on to the tennis courts for the 30 v 30. On the lucky days you'd see the astroturf gates had been left open. Free for all.

    Crazy to think it's over 20 years ago.

    Nah, I seem to remember the food was a mix of chips... potatoes... beans... gravy and sausages. Maybe half a pie if we were lucky.

    Snap. Tennis courts were the home of 3 concurrent games, every lunch, for 5 years

    I think I may have got thm but need to confirm with parents actually as I have conflicting memories and this is an important feather to add to my cap. BAME lad breaks through the system to drag himself out of poverty. Timothče Chalamet should play me in the biopic.

    @Giggles
    Ah yes, that new societal authority Marcus Rashford

    There was probably something here alright. Though the handouts didn’t properly start until the Eastern European’s landed.

    You're wrong. These issues are exactly the sort of things people with platforms should be getting involved in.

    He's genuine and doing good but I can't wait until every footballer's PR people cringily start telling them to get involved with such things, and Sir Henry Winter and Gary Lineker have to do tweets with 5 clap emojis for every single one.

    He doesn't come across particularly thick, but even if he is, should thick people not try to do positive things?

    I had school meals. Pretty sure they were free as we were poor as fuck, although I had some lunch money at secondary school. The burgers and sausage rolls our canteen used to serve up were banging. 40p for a can of Coke from the vending machine too

    I always used to despise packed lunch kids. Not really sure why. It just seemed like a fussy, faddy cop out.

    Because he’s using his popularity in kicking a ball to influence a whole new generation of entitlement.

    There were no cafeterias in Mexico, so your mom would pack a sandwich and some cheetos for you. During middle school there was a woman that would sell quesadillas though, so that was great.

    Packed lunch every day for me. The only school dinner I can ever remember was the christmas dinner everyone had on the last day before Christmas break. From what I can remember it was top tier.

    At secondary school I had a bit of money so occasionally nabbed some extra food but not often.

    Lol you absolute cunt.

    For some children, free school meals are literally the only proper food they get. It makes an enormous difference to the wellbeing of some of the most vulnerable children. I hope you're trolling to be honest because I cannot get my head around the attitude required to call 5 year olds 'entitled' for needing to eat.

    They had a woman on the news yesterday saying how financially difficult and stressful it was to ensure her kids were fed. Just a shame her BMI was triple figures. There must be a clip of it somewhere, absolute gold.

    Let's be honest, there's not been much sport this year. And I sure did get my tickets as a kid. The skiprat behavioural kid always tried to get in on the free meal as well. He's in prison now for drop-kicking his kid.

    Paid for mine, high school dinners were amazing, chips gravy, a barm and a can of pop.

    School dinners now, in primary anyway, are genuinely disgusting. If you have kids and can give them packed lunch, do it. They’re just awful.

    I loved school dinner desserts.

    Purely because I never got those items at home.

    Three free meals a day across two months is almost a full school year.
