Out of the Frying Pan

Apparently we learn that the school dinners in Fenn Street have always been horrible.

Courtesy of the fearsome Mrs Savage the head cook who has put back British cooking to the stone ages.

Still Potter manages to keep the headmaster happy with the lunchtime meals. He substitutes them for something more edible. Potter has an arrangement with Mrs Savage as he gets free groceries from the kitchen by keeping her in the job.

For the rest of the staff and pupils. School dinners is something to best avoid. They are usually found in the pub.

Mr Hedges decides enough is enough and has words with Mrs Savage who walks out. The dinners have improved but Potter conspires to give the headmaster a meal that he rather forget.

A good episode showing up Potter's scheming. 5C decide to expose Potter but the downside is pub lunches go downhill.

Trivia
Whilst in the Headmaster's room, Potter makes a reference to a Sandy Powell. Sandy Powell was an English comedian best known for his radio work in the 1930's and 1940's, and for his catchphrase "Can you hear me, mother?"
