Back when the weather wasn't so messed up. I remember the late 1970s and even the early 1980s every Easter going on a picnic with the family. A warm sunny spring day. Today at Easter it's more like sitting in the car having a picnic looking out at the blustery wind and heavy rain or hailstones.

I’m in my 30s and I missed our work canteen by bout 10 years. Instead they fund a vending machine with microwave meals and sarnies in it for a fair bit cheaper than the shops. For example I got a meal for £1.50 that was about £4 in the shops. Of course that’s got nothing on a fry up. But, the woman who ran the canteen opened up a cafe just down the street and gives all the drivers a discount. We all go there instead usually.
