Starcross School Dinners 1944

from Starcross School Log 1944
Nov 13
Dinners arrived today at 6 minutes past 1
The man who brought them was as usual
filthy dirty, as if he had come out
of the car inspection pit, and he spilt
half the dinners on the floor bringing
them in.

Dinners have been unsatisfactory lately
from their late arrival. One day a caterpillar
1 3/4 ins long was found in the greens
the same day a blackbeetle was also found.
Potatoes are rarely cooked, and
uneatably hard. I have complained
... often but there is no
improvement.
