Sacked dinner lady - not me, guv'nor!

Or should that be "me not guv'nor"?

I would just like to make clear, having been accused of this once already, that I am not the Revd John Richardson referred to in a story about a dinner lady sacked for a "breach of pupil confidentiality".

I have no idea whether this action was warranted or not, but it took place at Great Tey, not Ugley, and concerns my namesake, not me.

  2. From across the pond, in the US, I have a sense of the definition of a school "governor" but what, pray tell, is a 'dinner lady"?

  3. Jmoss,

    Dinner ladies prepare and serve the midday meal in schools and keep an eye on the children while they're eating. I think the official title is now something like school meal supervisor, and in at least some places the food is delivered from a kitchen elsewhere so they only have to serve it rather than cook.
