Tee Hee! No! Not jam. That’s for on toast in the evening.

I’ve spent a fair amount of time in hospital in recent years but during the first few days I wasn’t too interested in a meal hot or cold. It was only towards the end of my stay that food interested me.

If the proposal does come to pass, as I’m sure it will, it will mean that no longer will some patients get a cooked meal that has dried up for being in the heated trolley for so long. That has to be a plus.
