At least in North Britain, we correctly call them "dinner ladies" because we have "breakfast, dinner and tea". In Scotland, I didn't have a "lunch box" but a wrapped sandwich, which we called a 'piece' and a bottle of Irn Bru I shared with my sister. We were poor as well...lived in shoebox in middle o' road !
You think you had it tough, we used to live in a septic tank.....
