COOLTRIKERCHICK

i have now set my programme timer thing so i will not miss this programme...

COOLTRIKERCHICK

well.. what did you think of the first programme in the series ?

i must admit the boy which had the long hair did look better after he had it cut

also did you see what they had for their tea.... cornbeef fritters...

has anyone had or made them ?

moggins

OMG!!! That girl feeling sick because she had to eat carrot! I must admit that I'd refuse to use the "po" if I had to do it in front of other people

taplady

Drat forgot this was on!:mad: anyone know if its repeated?

flourgirl

I think it might be an interesting programe, but it's sad when the girls don't think they can live without their "mobies".

I agree with you moggins about using the "po". I was eating my tea at the time it was being emptied. yuk!

The food looked good though, I would have swapped my weight watchers yogurt for the steamed date sponge anyday lol..

black-saturn

Damn I forgot to watch it. Was it any good?

COOLTRIKERCHICK

hi.. black-saturn.... it was the start.. showing what the 12 kids got today.. mobiles designer clothes.. parents doing everything for then etc...and how they changed over to the 1940's clothes... and hair cuts....so think it was just getting us viewers... a basic start....

i will deff.... be watching.... all of them if poss....ok it is ment for children... but it is very interesting for us older people as well ( just out of school years of cause:D )

I had to laugh at the poor mummies crying as the kids left. And the kids too.
Get a life! They are not babies. They are all spoilt kids! They are too old to be that insecure surely???

(Says she who would be cheerfully waving mine off - and mine cheefully waving back!)


But DD loved it and did the urgh sound at the chamberpot and dinner!

I thought it was great, but I did feel a bit sorry for them when they had to have their hair cut! I think Corned beef fritters are yuck! AFAIK they are just mashed potato onion and corned beef made into cakes and fried. I wonder how they will get on? I must admit, My DD2 (aged 9) wouldn't do it so well done to all the kids for even having a go!!

We've been living 1940s style on & off for a few years now. I couldn't believe it when I saw the poor little blighters drinking condensed milk from a can with a straw on the train. (I believe that's what it was.) From what I know, children had a bag of supplies to take with them, provided by local authorities, but these included a tin of condensed milk, which was then handed over to the host family's housewife. Sometimes, by all reports, this and other goodies were never seen again by the evacuee, but the host family would have enjoyed it, or squirrelled it away. All the condensed or evaporated milk recipes I know of were for rare treats. not for drinking the stuff straight from the can.
How Bizarre?

I thought they were nice kids though, and felt sorry for them coming to terms with being in a strange place, in unfamiliar circumstances. I didn't notice them being as difficult as children in past experiments (Channel 4's School series)
Wonder about the weight & lifestyle of Madam with the fridge in her bedroom AND a slave to fill it at the drop of a mobile call!!!!
