I'm no fan of CHuntley, but she doesn't screech. At least she doesn't screech on TV. I think the screecher you are talking about is called Kathrine. She wins the prize.

I can't stand the advert where a middle-aged woman on a doorstep handling a QVC parcel has such a faux smile and mouths "thank you" which doesn't imo say thank you at all, but "aren't I a lovely person for doing this? " It's so fake, it's ridiculous.
It's like someone's just given her a kidney or something, not a QVC parcel! Silly woman, totally take I agree.

I’m glad it’s not just me that hates that. It’s makes my toes curl it’s so cringe
I wouldn't want a QVC kidney. It would be knackered from filtering out of the rubbish.
Two promotions I dislike are the ones for Cozzee where a couple are cavorting in the bedroom and for Andy's Food Fest when Andy slaps Dale's hand and says, "Don't touch the spread".
If anyone was hungry enough to sample the rice dish she cooked in the Ninja last week. Ugh! Barf! Yuk! Maybe the toffee pudding would get an 'mmm'. It looked nice.

The way she dishes up food reminds me of the dinner ladies as school. Food in big rectangular metal trays on hot plates, contents of which the dinner ladies would dollop on your plate. Mind you the majority of it was tasty. My favourite was the cornflakes and golden syrup on a pastry flan base. Fortunately they only made this a couple of times a year.
The dinner lady at my school was a real sour puss and she'd check that you'd cleared your plate. If you didn't, they'd sit you back down again. No use trying to spread the mash around the plate. I liked the sponge and custard.
I hated school food. I was always the one sitting in the corner on a little table with a bowl full of cold tapioca in front of me. You'd sit there until you ate it 
Church of England schools in the 60's . . . . . . . To this day I cannot even look at any kind of rice pudding, or any pudding in fact.

God, Griz, you went to my school. Why where dinner ladies so horrid to children? I hated custard as well. They had green, yellow and pink and it was all vile. If they knew you hated it they'd tip the skin on. Then make you eat it. I'm shuddering at the thought. Going for coffee and a scone lol.

If the school was out of potatoes they'd chuck a slice of dry bread on your plate so you'd get your starch for the day. Some kids liked the skin on the custard. They were probably the undernourished ones who got a tablespoon of malt every day to try to build them up.
I loved, and still love, the skin on custard. I could live on custard, in fact when I was pregnant with my first I think I did. I was certainly not undernourished at any point
. I would make a pint of Birds custard, leave it to cool down and eat the top few inches including skin as it formed. Yummy

I never had any school meals, I was pleased at the time, but now I think I may have missed out.
Did I?
Did I?
I went to an all girls' school so there were lots of picky eaters. Boys are probably not as picky, so you might have eaten it all and enjoyed it. I can't remember ever having curry and rice! but every day meat, gravy, and a vegetable. We always had a pudding as well. Looking back, I suppose the meals were well balanced but not inspired. And the staff were grumpy which didn't help. No food fights in my school, but they did happen at other schools.

I lived opposite the school gate which is why I never had school meals, and I was a picky eater.
But I feel I may have missed out on the social aspects.
Everyone wanted to get out of the cafeteria (or whatever it was called) as soon as possible, so no social aspects in my case.
