SKOOL DINNERS ARE CHANGING!!!

It has come to the attention of the Board of Governors that the Skool Dinners are not quite meeting the requirements of the illustrious inmates of the establishment. Therefore, to prevent outright rebellion, a few alterations have been made on popular demand. The menu shall now read:

Breakfast: Flip au Jacko: raspberry jelly whipped with Carnation and scratch, brown sugar and butter porridge on the side.

Elevenses: Oatcakes Surprise (sorry Pondside!)

Lunch: Skool sossages standing on their heads in extra eggy batter delicately (hemhem) fragranced with Irish whisky.
Angel Delight with capers.

Tea: Jam (scrapings from jam pan, once Cook has removed her feet) on savoury oyster scones.

Le Dejeuner: Moules, chips, chicken and salad, with Belgian beer or red wine as preferred. Scratchings as optional side dish.
Sago pudding sans lumps, with chocolate chips and lashings of golden syrup.

Supper: Wine and chocolate!

Also, on emptying Blossom's kit-bag of the squaddie and the firemen, who should we discover lurking at the bottom? None other than the lovely Jean Christophe Novelli himself, so things will be looking up soon, although he must be detained in the Office for a thorough 'debriefing' before he can take up his new duties as the Skool Chef. We expect a lot more volounteers for veg-prep and pan scrubbing duties in the future.

All further suggestions will be considered - please continue to drop them into Cait's Skool Dinners suggestion box below!

    Well I am on all the kitchen duties so far while J C Novelli is cheffing, chopping and scubbing away with unusual enthusiasm not normally seen in my own kitchen - but I am sure there is plenty of room for more volunteers!

    I have some more suggestions:
    Breakfast: beans on toast
    Elevenses: a quick fag behind the bike shed
    Lunch: sausage, beans and chips
    Tea: a quick fag and can of cider behind the bike shed
    Dinner: speggy bol
    then, under cover of darkness, nip across the field, through Smelly Farm's yard, over the Purple River bridge, and acroos the road to the village pub, the Royal Cow, for a large Nokyurhedov and tonic and back just in time for lights out.

    Ooh sorry Blossom, I am so busted! I just borrowed him for a while - no-one else was tough enough to scrape out the jam pan after Cook's feet!

    As Library monitor, can I ask that Monsieur Novelli must come to the library Immediately as there are some overdue books I need to sort out with him - I need to have a look at his ticket and it will take a very long time. The door will be locked of course, but only so he can't run away and escape his fine.
