30 p meals ???

tessie_bear · 2022-05-12 08:00:14

further to words of wisdom from our political class I wonder can you make a meal for 30 p ?. I haven’t started this thread for a calling of the politians but wondered if it was possible. I take it to mean 30p per person any ideas ?..

I understand from a statement made by the foodbank concerned, which is run from a college premises, that they offer budgeting and cookery support, but contrary to Anderson's statement, it is not compulsory.

How well does he really know the foodbank he's talking so much about if he can get such a basic piece of information wrong?

He was on woman’s hour the other day. Only caught part of it as I was driving, but I’m pretty sure he said he’d given them a decent amount of money as a donation before all this kicked off, about a grand if I remember correctly. It did sound as if he’d been involved.

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
