I do hope they reintroduce hot meals at my sons primary school. If only for the winter. Probably does them no harm to have school packed lunches, I`m just a little old-fashioned like that!

Writing in the Observer, the prime minister acknowledged the parental anger expressed over the diets on offer at many schools.
He promised to set up a School Food Trust to build on the work begun by the celebrity chef in his Channel 4 series, Jamie's School Dinners.
Mr Blair said that the new trust will "draw on the remarkable work of Jamie Oliver in schools, of the Soil Association in encouraging the use of organic and local produce in school meals, and on the best advice on nutrition and eliminating processed foods".
He added: "It may take a little time to change children's tastes, but it will be worth the effort if we can get them enjoying healthy and good quality food at school. We will also ask Ofsted to inspect the quality of school meals."

Call me a cynic, but the fact that there's an election coming up couldn't possibly have anything to do with old Tony's announcement, could it...
It's the perfect time for him to announce something like this, because if he doesn't get re-elected it becomes the incumbent leader's responsibility. If he does get back in, he can try and quietly drop it a few months down the line.
