Do you remember when you had your main meal at mid-day and called it dinner? Everyone got at least an hour for their dinner-break. Lunch was something you only ate in restaurants (in which case it was luncheon) or you had on a day out as in "packed lunch". Your evening meal was your tea and was usually just something like egg and bacon on a small plate with loads of bread and butter to fill you up. Supper was a biscuit and a cup of cocoa

When I was a Knowsley Road Junior School we walked along to the Dinner Hall at midday. I remember going in through the side entrance and the Catholic School who shared the dinner hall went in through the front entrance. Which school was that? (St Teresa's?) I was always embarrassed about having free school meals
