Scenes from everyday life

Royal Voluntary Service

This advert was on the packaging of a take-away sandwich that I bought yesterday at a motorway service station as we drove back from Darlington to London.

Two things make it feel worth a comment.

First, I've never seen an advert of any kind before on sandwich packaging. It seems such an obvious thing now.

Second, until I saw this I didn't know that WRVS had changed its name. A bit of research shows that the change was in 2013: apparently 5% of the RVS's volunteers are now men.
