    I loved the people over there. When I was there socialism we probably in the 2nd stage of creeping in (out of 10 stages) & everybody was laughing about it. (that was long ago).
    Around 15 years ago I was working late in Sutton which is pretty near Kingston upon Thames. It as dark and not many people about, must have been 9ish, I saw the red fish and chip shop lights and walked in, straight away the cockney sounding geezer made me feel at home, on the walls were photographs of celebrities with the owner in them as well.
    I read the Autobiography of Michael Winner and I also knew what he was about to answer when I asked the owner about it the picture with Michael.
    He told me when Michael Winner has guests he pre-orders fish and chip suppers for his guests, maybe 30-40 servings of Cod n chips, he delivered them to Michaels house in London.
    Of course I knew this was true as I had read about it.

    The owners Fish and Chios were terrific, j was surprised as it was inside the M25.

    The nearest proper fish and chip shop to me (owner knows my name) is about half a mile away from my house, it’s handy.
    Battered haddock, cod or plaice, chips cut thick not the thinly sliced buggers you get on the south coast.

    This is the fish and chip shop my mother would take me to for lunch when I was a nipper, it was family owned by Italians if I remember. The chip shop was literally 50 yards from the bus stop.


    This fish and chip shop is further into the town near the Cathedral, it was an English local family that owned and worked there, again my mother would take me there for meals, I remember I asked for a mug of Bovril with my meals just the same as I had at a cafe called “ The Cafe Roma”
    Got dangit man! We don't calls 'em chips over here! We calls 'em french fries! And we put ketchup on 'em and on hot dogs too! And we put mustard on biscuits! And pork and beans ain't got no pork in 'em! We park on a driveway and drive on a parkway!

    Ye Gods man, these are 16th century houses made out of good old English Oak, of course they are warped.

    This is why I want to visit East London. Well, also to see Whitechapel and places where Jack the Ripper hung out.

    Hmmmmmm! Whitechapel isn’t how you think it is now. A few years ago I worked in Whitechapel on the large hospital there.
    200 yards from the hospital is a huge Muslim mosque, it was funny because across the road from the mosque was a pub that has strippers every dinner time, obviously the muzzies hated it.
