My birthday is in july as well slinks but i ended up with school dinners. Mum didnt want me coming home in the day - might have had something to do with bro's first day at school (he is older than me) he came home at dinner time and wouldnt go back - thought he'd finished for the day!!! But when i was at primary school near enough everyone stayed for school dinners, a selected few went home for dinner - i think there was 1 in my class for definate who went home for dinner and a few who brought butties in but most had school dinners. Now a few year ago i was a volunteer at the school i went to and one of the welfare assistants had an operation and had time off work so i filled in for her. Out of a school of 130 kids do you know how many had school dinners? It was 23. The rest had sandwiches brought from home. No one went home for dinner.
