@SamaHoole Im a bit younger (born in 85) and loved getting milk in school! I still drink a lot now. Don't know what policies were at the time, or if our parents had to pay for it, but I remember it stopped when we hit juniors (so year 3) and i was gutted.

In 1946 the British government introduced free school milk for every child in the country. One third of a pint, every school day, from the age of five to the age of fifteen. The milk was whole. Full-fat. From British dairy herds. It was delivered to the school gate in small glass bottles with foil caps and left on the doorstep in metal crates, where it sat in the sun until morning break if the weather was warm and developed a slightly suspect taste that an entire generation of British adults can still describe with uncomfortable precision. The generation that grew up on school milk was, by every anthropometric measure, the healthiest generation of British children ever recorded. Average height increased. Bone density improved. Dental health, despite the sugar in everything else, improved. Iron deficiency rates among school-age children dropped. The growth charts that the Ministry of Health had been keeping since the war showed a consistent, measurable, year-on-year improvement that tracked precisely onto the introduction of the milk programme. In 1971 Margaret Thatcher, then Education Secretary, cut free school milk for children over seven. The tabloids called her Thatcher the Milk Snatcher. She was vilified. She kept the policy. The next generation of British children, the ones who grew up without the daily third of a pint, were measurably less healthy than the one before. The growth charts show it. The dental records show it. The conscription medicals, while they lasted, showed it. The thing the milk had been providing, the calcium, the vitamin D, the vitamin A, the complete amino acid profile, the conjugated linoleic acid, the fat-soluble nutrients that a growing skeleton requires in order to reach its genetic potential, was no longer arriving at morning break in a glass bottle with a foil cap. It was replaced, eventually, by nothing. Or by a carton of fruit juice. Or by a packet of crisps from the vending machine that appeared in the school corridor in the 1990s. The generation that drank the milk is now in its seventies and eighties. They are, on average, taller, stronger-boned, and longer-lived than the generation that came after them. The milk was not magic. The milk was milk. It was the thing the body needed, delivered at the time the body needed it, at a cost the government considered acceptable until it didn't. The cost of not providing it has been rather higher.

@TheStingisBack I had never heard of it and found the DVD in my nan's stuff after she died. Couldn't believe how good it was! Definitely her kind of film!

Does anyone remember the weird past-life thriller Dead Again (1991) Robin Williams shows up uncredited as a disgraced psychiatrist; he didn’t want anyone expecting a comedy. He only has three scenes, and he’s absolutely electric. Oh, and happy birthday, Emma Thompson

@Stylo_____ @_EFCCarlos_ It's funny I was never worried about Leeds. The fact Leicester had West Ham on the last day (which i was certain they'd win) and had the better goal difference kept me up at night!

@SmudgeEFC1985 @_EFCCarlos_ Leeds still had to play West Ham the day after as well. Two chances for us to go into the final day in the bottom three that thankfully never got taken. Horrifying.

@Stylo_____ @_EFCCarlos_ That day at Wolves was so dark. Went bananas when we scored, and just like felt like shit afterwards because Leicester still had to play. That late miss they had at Newcastle haunts me, it was that close.

@_EFCCarlos_ 21/22 was actually probably better on paper (larger deficit to overturn, tougher run in), but 22/23 feels so much bleaker looking back and had more moments where we should’ve been dead and buried. The Maddison pen, beating Brighton 5-1, 1-0 down to Wolves at 90+8’, etc.

@littlelostsunny Id never let him off lead anywhere that wasn't secured, and it annoys me when people do because you can't control other dogs, people, the environment etc. Hopefully you're both okay. Bless her she won't forget that happened and its not fair.

@littlelostsunny Oh my god! This sort of thing terrifies me, and more often than not, its useless owners. My dog isn't good with other dogs, he has no etiquette and gets in faces and barks when I dont let him go to them so I just stay sensible and always give other dogs a wide berth.

If Jeff Kober is in your show, you know you’ve got real tv. Does a stint on 24 as the man who wipes out half the cast in a single episode. Heads over to New Girl as the sexually explorative landlord. Breaks your heart all these years later with Motorcycle Doctor talk. Total pro.

not enough people talking about the banger performance we're getting from jeff kober. dude dropped in episode 10 to almost narrate robby's state of mind and he's so goddamn compelling i can never look away. insanely good stuff, rly hope he gets the best guest actor emmy this year

@evertonibrow I already dehydrate every home game because the bastards only sell sugar free shite drinks. And the food at Terry's Timber is better anyway so an easy protest for me personally!

Been buying in the ground all season thinking rewards and money for the club (probs naive of me). But the rewards are absolutely shite and they've increased ticket prices anyway. So I'll just starve and dehydrate from this moment forward, like our Liverpool brothers and sisters.

@littlelostsunny It's like how here, my generation still knew about and watched shows like Happy Days, Mork & Mindy, Little House on the Prairie, Beverley Hillbillies, Addams Family etc that ended before we were born because they repeated on tv when we were kids!

I do think it’s unfortunate classic television references fall on deaf ears to those under 35. Those shows not existing to them at all just sucks. I think that type of pop culture knowledge is important! Nick at Nite really was so educational!

Shitbags. Cost of living crisis, fans treated worse than ever with TV moves getting later and later, endless midweek games. And you whack the prices up. Scabby fucks. Will be a fantastic day when top level football eats itself.

Remember very well when they lifted the ban on the Exorcist and everybody at school stayed up late to watch it. The Lady in White was another late night C4 classic that I've never seen again or even heard about since high school.
Harry Sword@HarrySword

When there were only four channels if I.e some obscure 1970’s horror or western was on late at night, next day at college/work chances were *loads* of people would have seen it. So you had this strange sub cultural literacy that has been utterly lost - people randomly quoting
