Well my mum and dad both worked. It was my dad who mentioned the milk being stopped the other night.
I do recall something happening, suddenly the milk was stopped. As does another poster above.
Not sure why such a debate. To prove me wrong? No, im not. It happened. Don’t know why or when exactly but it did.
Ok?
Nope. Thatcher only got in in 1979, don’t forget.I started school in 81. Must’ve been 81 or 82. I was 5 or 6.
So you can’t possibly have remembered it, can you? :S
Dave, I’ll back you up on this. I started school in 1974 and was still getting milk when I got to juniors in 1977. I remember this because I was Milk Monitor.

My tenure as Milk Monitor didn’t last long to be fair. I hid a milk bottle in a desk and it spilled ruining a couple of Peter & Jane books.I was already out of work by the time the role was made redundant.

With the added bonus of one less teachers pet to get beaten at playtime! ;)Back on topic ;)
“Even the figure sold compares favourably with the numbers Super League giants Wigan Warriors could expect to sell for a Challenge Cup final.”

THAT’S IT. I’M BOYCOTTIN TH’INDEPENDENT.
On a serious note, that comment will aid me in the current debate I’m having over on RLFANS.
Why on Earth does the writer feel the need to bring rugby league into it? ‘Ticket sales almost up there with a minority sport.’

I started school as a 4 yr old in 1979 & I can remember getting milk at break time in the Reception Class which we didn’t pay for. However we came back (either after a school holiday or a weekend) & were told that we were no longer getting it and that it was the government’s fault.
But Thatcher did get the nickname “Thatcher the milk snatcher” when she was education secretary & she stopped it in the early 70’s – the link further back in the thread about it continuing until she was PM in 1980ish is what happened & why there’s some confusion between peopleLike Standish I too had a short lived reign as milk monitor which ended when I was stood nonchalantly clinking 2 of the bottles together, they smashed & it ended up all over the carpet & the room stank for weeks

Don’t worry Sammy, we Milk Monitors then got made hymn book monitors – just to seal our fate.Dave, I’ll back you up on this. I started school in 1974 and was still getting milk when I got to juniors in 1977. I remember this because I was Milk Monitor.

She was Education Minister when she stopped free milk for the over 7s, in 1971. Under 7s still got free milk until 1980 – when her Govt abolished it (except children who are entitled to free school meals).
And, yes, as a student in 1971 at University I took the streets chanting “Maggie Thatcher, milk snatcher”. People did look at me strangely though – I was on my own ;)
