You forgot to include labour costs, kitchen maintenence, etc, etc

As for freedom of speech, stopping her writing would perhaps come under that but banning someone from taking photos in a private building... no. Freedom != 'doing what the hell you want'.

Well, they need something to counteract the heroin.

Having an hotel in my past plan B , I know a bit about overheads. Mass catering on school level quality would add 25p to 30p max for staff, utilities depreciation etc per meal. If I was paid £1 per meal I could come up with much better. On the other hand if profit is my motive, I could show a nice loss on each meal costing £2.00; all I need to do is add on supervision and administration charges. I would not be surprised if the local authority claimed it cost them £3.80 or more for each meal.

Lived close to the school so no need to have a school dinner but tried it once in primary four paying for it with my pocket money just to see what it was all about. Cost me thruppence in old money which is about 1.5p.

Absolute tulipe but had to be done so I could hit the football pitch early, I was tulipe at that too so a total waste of time and money. Could have bought a plastic Dalek instead.

My skool dinners were one and threepence (6.25p) versus a shilling at my sister's skool.

Cracking good meat'n'tater pie, with bangers and mash a close second. A seconds trolley came around with every meal and on Fridays we even got ice cream with our fruit salad (canned though that was). Cheese pie was good because most turned their noses up at it and there was lots extra to go round.

Twas a far cry from the slops we'd had at primary skool.
