@B3 When i left school,many moons ago, my first job was in a C of E childrens society nursery/home. It wasn't our place to give the arriving children their breakfasts but we couldn't let them go hungry.The food they had at nursery,which catered for new borns till school age, was maybe the only food they would have all day.I hate to think what happened at weekends when the nursery was closed.You'd have thought times would have changed for the better but sadly not.
Was it one of the tabloids that had vouchers for free fruit and meat to the value of a fiver.I remember it was very popular.Maybe something for them to consider doing again in the school holidays.
It looks like food will be much more expensive next year. It's a shame that vegetables and fruits that are slightly misshapen are thrown away. I would be happy enough to buy them, but surely they could be distributed to feed the hungry seeing as they would go to waste anyway. My god! Feed the hungry. Britain 2020😞
Kirsty Wark interviewed a mother on yesterday's World at One who claimed to have had nothing to eat the evening before but had fed her children. She was then asked how she took her mind off feeling hungry "oh, I just played a game on my phone"!

A phone is virtually essential these days and many games are free to download so I don't see anything wrong in her comment. Where I have an issue is where people are being interviewed in their homes, complaining about how unfair the world is, but have a huge TV behind them and consider the full Sky package to be essential.
But even then a lot of families made financial commitments before the pandemic arrived and slashed their income ... you try getting out of a Sky or Virgin contract without paying a large financial penalty (even if you move house and Virgin isn’t available at the new place!). It can’t be done.Â
These are very different times and the usual responses don’t necessarily apply.Â

I keep getting pay day loan flyers through the door now with the promise of a low low interest rate of 535% APR. Vultures.
A mild grump but I'm sharing my office with my wife for the foreseeable future and she keeps burning scented candles in here. I'm freezing my backside off with the window open trying to get rid of the smell of today's one but it doesn't want to shift.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
