Food banks

Could it have been due to lack of interest?

Yeabut in the war they used to stain their legs with tea to pretend they were wearing tights.

Moisok still does!

I'd love to know what % of people going to foodbanks partake of ciggies and booze.

I was wondering what stains you were on about for a moment!!!

tights weren't invented till the 50s

In fact I used to work for one company many years ago

I attended many fashion shows

They certainly wore nylons in the war? Well known. The GIs used to give them to women for "favours" as they were very hard to get hold of, and without even looking it up very many ww2 "pin ups" had women in stockings.

And men wore them as well. Only if they served on submarines though. UFCDan will agree .

Food Banks give 3 day's emergency food.

If you can't stash some dried food and tins for a rainy day then you have a problem with basic housekeeping.

No debate that I've heard on FBs ever mentions the term 'personal responsibilty'. Nor is the question ever asked 'where's your extended family and friends? Can they not bung you a score?'

A decent bag of pasta costs a quid. So too porridge. Rice the same. Some tins with that and you're sorted.

they were nylon stockings - tights are completely different and not worn till the 50s

ponces

My ancestor's never needed the food banks, they used to wear green tights and poach venison.

I'd have roast the venison myself. And if tights weren't invented until the 1950s, what did Robin's Merry men in tights wear!

Exactly, us brits invented hosiery centuries ago.

oh fk  I am finnish

ha ha

you know the tights I am on about - nylon and then subsequently the type that girlies wear did not occur till the 50s

please stay on message

ps I was in the trade

Robin Banks?

(Not food ones)

no  -  tights - food banks round our way you need a credit card bank account with 5 k in it before they will see you

Have to admit theres quite a few going to food banks who like me could do with losing a few pounds

I have the winter / after booze munchies and I've been eating crap all day .. so much for the new year resolution.

same here several veg and stuffing with every roast joint
a bottle of wine or umpteen beers

perhaps if I stopped winning on soccerball I would stop!!!
