my mother was a dinner lady - you dont know the horrors.

Dinner lady? Not trying to be flippant but is that a British term? Was she a cook with a big wooden spoon? If so I know all about how much those spoons hurt...

Didn't you have ladies with hairy arms who used to operate the school canteen at lunch times when you were children? Maybe it's an english thing...

I'm thinking I'm somewhat close with my initial guess. I had brown bag homemade lunches. Couldn't afford to pay for school lunch. In my elementary school I remember old old old old lunch ladies who I swear would fart mummy dust. If that then qualifies then, yes.
