I was going to point that out, but I thought I'd let someone else be a smartarse. :)

Tbf, it is set during an unspecified nuclear war, but the plight of children is nothing to do with that, per se. Did it for 'O' level many, many moons ago, but I still love it.
 
BTW, a generational thing: my daughter swears by McDonalds, her feller by KFC, my niece prefers Burger King... **** that - the chippy is the king of fast food, and always will be. Mind you, if they had a Greigs open till midnight...:emoticon-0110-tongu

True - there is the suggestion that no-one is looking for them because of nuclear war, but its themes are to do with the conflict between social thinking and individual power-seeking.
We did the play at school, it shows how much of an impact it had on me that I can even remember that from so long ago.
Probably the second biggest literary influence on my formative years, after Orwell.

Yeah, the beauty of Orwell's stuff is that they're written so simply. Timeless stuff. And I still get upset when Boxer is carted off. :emoticon-0101-sadsm

Seriously though.... I think we all did it at school.

Greggs is ****ing nasty.

As is McDonalds, never eat that **** and won't give my son it either.

Can't beat a proper bit of cod from a decent chippy.

Subway is pretty **** too.

KFC is clearly **** food but it's just ****ing amazing <laugh>

Behave!

Yip

Cod is the best, but it's getting rarer (and more expensive). Pie (mince) and chipps with curry is my second favourite. Got to be white bread and butter though.

Subway is pretty **** too.

Yes, that's sound too. More lunch at work though.

If you're pissed. Like kebabs - never touch them now that I don't drink, Had one once and hurled (but the six pints of Guinness and four Glenlivet doubles might have done that).
