    Chip shops

    There are 7 chip shops in my town that I would use, there maybe a few more about but 7 comes to mind.
    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”

    Neo your post brought back a lot of memories for me. Somewhere around here I have a little inexpensive serving tray with a picture of a British street with a fish & chip shop. Oh & there was a little snack place that sold rolls with butter, cheese & sliced tomato's. Those things were WONDERFUL.

    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).
