“I would be happy to record a second interview for the Back-Chat Website”

Rosie Molinari 9th September 2021

Rosie’s interview is packed full of information – she is an expert in her field of nutrition and school meals and what type of meals should be offered to children. 
Rosie comes from a family of 11 children and her father was very well known in Aireborough as PC Norman Copsey.
An independent thinker, Rosie said: “I have lost count of the number of jobs I have walked out of.” She has never liked people talking down to her!

Listen to a lovely story of how she was presented to Princess Anne, and the conversation about ‘mushy peas’!

Please take into consideration when listening to these interviews that the meaning of language changes over time and that interviewees have not intended to cause offence by anything said which now may be thought to be unacceptable.

Recording this social history, chatting to different people about a whole host of subjects has been a real pleasure, such an interesting and I think worthwhile project for people to listen to both now and in years to come.

Thank you for visiting this website.
