Re: Kids regressing

Back on topic, having seen some young kids and, worse, their parents, I can believe that if they haven't been to school for some time they'd be bound to regress to the level of their parents!

It stands to reason. If they have school dinners they are taught to use a knife and fork in the proper manner. It's part of their education.

Back home, they do what their parents do: eat like pigs!

Oh dear. I do sound a little biased, don't I?

That's a lot cheaper than the other supermarkets.

I told Marge and worked out the savings. Her response:
"Ooh, I'm not going to Lidl!"
haha, she won't be worry, they taste nicer than the Magnum brand too, or at least we think so. I've got all my friends hooked on them too now LOL.

Let me know what Marge thinks. And sorry, they are packs of 12 not 9

Really? Maybe it's because I was a secondary teacher, 'cos I never gave anyone any tuition in this field. I never knew that primary teachers taught Debretts etiquette to children.

I never did. The dinner ladies did.

Re: Kids regressing

I must say my grandchildren can use a knife and fork and they all sit at the table to eat the main meal of the day ..I am afraid to say Mr M and I do eat watching the box in the evening yes our standards have slipped but at the end of the day who cares ?
