Ah - them were the days. Tepid quarter (?) pint bottles (I don't remember cartons*) of milk and gank white bread sambos with margarine and jam or corned beef. I think it put me off drinking milk alone for life. Wednesday ("bun day") and the nice soft currant buns were always eagerly anticipated though.
* Were there ever "pyramid" shaped TetraPak style cartons at some stage or am I thinking of the orange "juice" that was sold in those receptacles in the 70s?
We had cheese sandwiches one day, corn beef two days and bun days were wednesday and Friday. Very few people ate the sandwiches but we always ran out of buns so you had to scramble for them! The milk was always manky.
I always remember our milk never had straws and most of the cartons had been pecked at by the birds when the milk was left outside school door early in the morning!
Probably not much help, but in the mid 60'seek: ) in Glasgow, we used to get a 1/3rd pint bottle of milk free, and we could buy digestive biscuits for a penny each. We got these at morning break, not lunchtime, and the milk was as cold as the classroom.
Anyone who had sambos would probably have been mugged for them!
