Notes

In Britain Meals on Wheels is the name of a service whereby meals are prepared in some central place and then delivered in a van (i.e. 'on wheels') to individual old people in their own homes. Usually the old people pay a small sum for the food, but the delivery is made by unpaid voluntary workers (the Women's Voluntary Service).
