Describe Saturday teatime when you were a child?

Tea was an hour or two later and was a Do It Yourself Kit. Basically, you went into the kitchen and helped yourself to whatever you fancied, usually, sandwiches, cakes, scones, rock cakes, biscuits ... basically we ate what we'd just cooked then we'd sit down and watch the footie scores come in.
We bairns would sit quietly and let Dad check off the pools coupon because we knew that Seaside Special, Doctor Who and for Mam, The Generation Game was coming up afterwards.
Ahhh, happy days.
If we had an egg, my Mum would make a cake on the Radiation Gas cooker.
For tea there was always a clean, starched white damask cloth on the table.
Bread & butter if there was any left from the butter ration (I think it was 2 oz a week for an adult) - otherwise it was Marg; we might have bread and butter with watercress sometimes (which I made into sandwiches), and a slice of the cake.
Ready-sliced bread had not been invented then, by the way.
Rarely my Aunt who worked at the Bristol Aeroplane Company would somehow have "found" iced cakes - probably on the Black Market - we never asked (known now as fondant fancies) and we might have one of those.
Big pot of tea - but only half a teaspoon of sugar because of the rationing. Occasionally, if Mum had been lucky to get some sugar in the summer we might have home-made blackberry jam on bread (but not allowed butter).
No problems with obesity during the War years.
With us, it was a haphazard affair as we'd have spent Friday night, Saturday afternoon at gran and grandpa's, so mum and dad had some "quality time" and didn't get any food in, lol
Seaside Special...woo that's a while ago. "Sunshine saturday, down on the beach and we're all having fun..."
World of sport (Dickie Davies), sniffing the aroma of mum's home made bread after watching it rise by the fire all afternoon...munching on coconut mallow biscuits, dishes of trifle and mums salmon n cucumber triangles..heheee.
Doctor Who (Tom Baker) and a bag of chips to share between three kids while watching Larry on the Game (ooer) I fancied Isla and I'm not ashamed of it... yeh they were the days...What happened? Guess we just got older eh.
Condensed milk sandwiches or beef dripping. As a luxury egg dip with sugar on top.
star treck and sandwiches ingredients were from our local skip
When I was young, I didn't have tea on Saturdays cos I went to my dads and no-one would bother to feed me :-(
Well my mum worked in a blind home as a cook. My dad had weekends off so he'd cook our tea. From 5'0clock onwards we had to be quiet as wrestling was on which my dad loved and then the pools. I miss the good old days it was more fun.
After the lawn was mowed my dad got us Pepsi and we would go to the local baseball park and watch whoever was playing. No scones just Twinkies.
Ahhh, happy days.
that sounds nice
Saturdays where Tiswas in the morning me and my dad would watch this as mum was at work then we would go to the Barras a weekend market here in Glasgow,we would get mussels and whelks go see my uncle who owned the butchers there my dad would help out for an hour and i would go round the stalls with my cousins,then home my mum would be in and she would be making a fry up for us which was chops,square sausages,eggs,black pudding,dumpling,bacon,tomatoe's,beans,a... fried bread,we would eat this while watch super scoreboard then we would watch Family Fortunes,then we would play frustration and cards or dominoes,my brother would take me out with him and the dog then it was story time from dad then bed.......Oh how I miss those days....................
we got the chip shop on a saturday and ate it while waiting for dr who to come on
We have a Chinese meal always on a Saturday lots off different stuff.x
Why to wait for a long .
it might have been happy days for you but mine was a Little different dad up the club drinking mother in the house drinking and our tea was do it yourself or starve
Well for dinner we used to eat,Kentucky Fried Chicken(well thats what they used to call it then)lol.
I would go with my dad to pick it up.
When we came home,My mum,dad,older sister and younger brother and I would sit down and scoff it all Always fighting over who will eat the last bun.lol
At about 6.00pm our cousins would come over and we will watch Young Talent Time.A TV Variety show in Australia.
When it was time for the cousins to go my cousin and I would pretend we were asleep so my cousin would sleep over.
We always WON!!!!
Oh they were the simple days xoxoxo

It was always smoked haddock with sliced bread liberally buttered (eating butter could not kill you in those days- that's only a modern invention) while watching Dr. Who. I still remember the very first episode. Yes those were the days my friend.
