Nought out of ten for Argyll and Bute Council - in fact if I could give them a negative score, I would. You may have heard of a girl called Martha Payne, who started a blog a couple of months ago where she posted daily photos of her school dinner (for which she pays £2) and giving the food ratings out of ten. It's been a sensation, with other children from around the world sending photos of their school meals, and celebrity chefs sending her encouraging tweets. She's also used the blog to raise money for charity. So you can guess what's happened, can't you? The Council have decreed that she can't take any more photos. Not the school mind you, which has been very supportive, but some faceless - words fail me - in the Council, who hasn't even got the balls to come out and defend him or herself. All we have got is an anodyne statement from the Council saying that "Our school meal provision is fully compliant with nationally agreed nutritional standards." Yeh, right.
STOP PRESS - The ban has been lifted it seems - or has it? There is to be a meeting next week. Watch this space.
