Compo 10,078 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Anyone remember using this at school? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Yes I do - the rubber 'spreader' used to get gunged up with the glue. Course we didn't use to sniff it in those days............ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crankypig 457 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 We used another glue or paste at school,can't remember what it was called,it smelled of almonds I liked to sniff it,oh dear. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OrphanAnnie 296 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Was your school milk kept by the radiator so it was horrible and warm by break time? Put me off milk for life, I don't drink it now. God bless Thatcher the Milk Snatcher!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BilboroughShirley 1,119 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 My mum wrote a note to the teacher to say that I was not to have the school milk. They stood over us to make us drink it. It was either warm or ice cold and the smell of it made me feel sick, especially if you got some on your fingers. I could not drink it. I still could not drink a glass of milk and I have tea and coffee black! Not having it has done me no harm. I have never broken a bone and my teeth are fine. Our son drinks lots of milk, by choice, cold from the fridge. So much better than cola as a soft drink. He does have a bottle of Hobgoblin in the fridge too! I am so glad milk was not forced on him as it was on me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Compo 10,078 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 At our school we discovered that a pinch of sugar made the milk palatable so we took some to school each day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 On the question of school milk, when we were given it and other things in the diet of those days, I don't recall being aware of all the food allergies prevalent today, or perhaps they weren't recognised? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,078 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 That's because we had a balanced diet and exposure to a bit of muck, which gave us some immunity to such namby-pamby things as modern intolerances and allergies Quote Link to post Share on other sites
