    Those kids were so humble and praying before eating, wow. How far we've fallen.

    Never thought I'd heard a schoolboy say he's quite content with the food

    These are Scottish children, mince and potatoes would have been a staple in all homes, warm and filling... and not a drop of Irn Bru to be seen, and no mention of chips, pizza or turkey dinosaurs.

    They even know how to use a knife and fork properly. 😀

    Can't go wrong with mince and mashed potato; a childhood favourite of mine too!

    Potatoes prepared in any and all ways were the staple of all school dinners in the 60`s

  • @MsBernadines

    See how grateful all those kids were to get a good cooked meal at school.

    1968 ummm, I was 6 years old and I loved the meals at my school, the bottle of milk also. Ilkeston, Derbyshire a beautiful place, nice memories of that place...

    very civilised, actually serving the children at the table with proper plates

  • @ababyharpseal6534

    It's an interesting feeling to watch this and smile at how cute these kids are, when in actuality they're all older than my mother.

  • @mariar4431

    It seems like yesterday to me. Thank God i had those years.

  • @user-yq3nu5hd6n

    Back when one had to wear a coat to eat dinner - no heating in the dinner room!
