Shock horror haven't you heard of the dangers of peanut butter to poor people with a nut allergy? Most schools consequently ban peanut butter sandwiches.

Mark don't worry I fully aggree with you but I have been reprimanded so often that I now know no peanut butter sarmies

Actually lunch boxes are state of the art quisine here if you just had sandwiches in your lunchbox, as we did as kids, you would have everybody thinking you poor or something

it a UK thingy..
i remember giving peanut butter to my kid at 9 months, father is a crazy wanted to watch him suffer with the tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth; that was SA, then i did the same for my second son and the world came tumbling down, wife had a fit etc; that was the UK.
anyway all my kids are nut free!!
as for lunch boxes it forms an arguement in our house, i say what is wrong with sarmies... OH no! have to have a whole lot of different things in like frozen yoghurt sticks and then half the stuff comes home anyway, and in this heat it has to be thrown away
aaaargghh helpme helpme............:confused:
