Satire piece

An hour left till lunch and the dinner ladies are adding the final touches to the lunch meals. A bit more grease for the chips, a few more meatballs for the spaghetti, a string of hair and maybe a few nail clippings if your lucky. The bell rings and the canteen is bombarded by students. Kids lining up to collect their healthy and nutritious food., the dinner ladies smiling with great enthusiasm, looking like they love every second of their job. One by one they pay for their food and sit down to devour it. Eating the same food every lunch for 250 days a year can get quite boring so there’s always free chewed chewing gum underneath the table to add a bit of extra flavour to the meal.

It seems after lunch the most visited place is the toilet, one of the many delights in the LNS. A lot of people use the toilets as a gym. squatting on the toilets not letting their backside touch the seat, must be a game the students like to play. The toilets seem to be so clean that no soap is even needed as none is presented for you. Whilst some complained about their school toilets, there’s nothing but praise to come from the luxurious LNS toilets. LNS provides exquisite service all around and the lunch especially nothing but top quality.
