WhiTwell canteen, N.Derbys.,used to put on splendid mealswhich were enjoyed by the men trouble used to be ridays, when the men on Days had to book their meals, If not, they would have been eaten by the Villagers, who because of the quality AND the PRICE, would flock to it and leave it like a bunch of scavengers had descended.

Do you remember buying meat pies in the canteen, putting them under a belt joint box on top of the transformer and having a warm pie at snap time?
That was before "salmonella" was invented. The temperature on top of the transformer must have been a breeding ground for food poisoning bacteria, either that or there never was any meat in those pies!!
