Comment posted School Dinners stooshie: young Martha Payne has the right pedigree by Iain McCallum.
But in fairness, she does compliment some of the meals, it was just the (particularly) miserly ones that the national press highlighted. That said, it is a good blog and well done to a switched on 9 year-old.

I must say, much as I dislike Blair, I am never comfortable with the great and the good parading about achieving nowt when these disasters happen. What difference would it have made if he had been in the UK? Not one bit I suspect, plenty people who were doing stuff did it. The government figurehead would have made no difference. Bit like the mob forcing the Queen to grieve in public for Diana - Campbeltown’s fundraising hits target for dialysis unit
As with everything and everyone involved in Campbeltown, this is a great effort from a small community to raise a ridiculous amount of money. Well done everybody in the Wee Toon - Best of big news for Campbeltown Picture House from Heritage Lottery Fund
Colin, the other one was the Rex, which was further along Hall street towards the Buroo - Best of big news for Campbeltown Picture House from Heritage Lottery Fund
Brilliant news. Well done to all concerned and get it open quick

Well done to everyone in the Toon. The money raising for an area of only about 7000 souls is phenomenal. The locals are generous to a fault and the amount of money they raise for many causes, every week, is a reason to be proud of Campbeltown and Campbeltonians – from an exile down here in Welsh wales

no suprise in the experiance of this 9 year old and school meals. We hear so much about healthy balanced diet yet the very people entrusted to provided guidance and education in this field are failling our youngsters.
If this was a private functioning resturant it would no longer be trading.

What do they expect to get for a 2 pound dinner, if just a piece of fruit will cost how much? And a yogourt?
In the house holdings they don’t do much better either. It a cultural thing. I have never seen people spending money buying and cooking good food.

You are absolutely right. Why don’t we just feed them Pot Noodles and a wee bottle of Irn bru?

Reminds me of a Scouse friend in my student days who used to talk fondly of chip butties.

if you look into what has happend you will find there has been no change at all to the school dinners …the school has a menu system with always a healthy choice and also more “main stream” meals for the kids who will not eat if there is no “junk ” on the plate there is always salad and baked potatos or a choice of main meal off the four week menu perhaps if veg asked the dinner ladys if she could photograph all the choces she has on offer it would give a better reflection of the healthy options that are being passed up
