From 1962 I was at Blessed John Almond's in Garston and there were enough opportunities nearby to avoid school dinners - there was a cafe by the gasworks that did home-made pie, chips and gravy for 11d (old pence for you young 'uns) when I had a shilling to buy a school dinner.

In later years we'd go to the shops by the Cenotaph, just past Garston station. We'd buy a crusty loaf between two, from the bakery, rip it in half and take most of the bread out of the middle, then stuff it with chips from the chippy next door.



When I ended up at All Hallows in Speke in 1966, I started having school dinners again as there were few food alternatives nearby. Found them quite good.
Still got my school reference from there,it came in really useful....not! What was the headmasters name,then?
