Oh my goodness, young Eric bought home a doozy of a magazine for our perusal after collecting our kebab tea from Rainbow Chippy the other night ......
......... well, it would have been rude not to!
Who would have thought that behind the scenes of the humble fish and chip shop it's all going on .......
...... to finding out that there are estate agents who specialise solely in the sale of said fried comestible establishments, with prices ranging from £65,000, up to £320,000, who knew?
I have to admit that Darrell and I were held in abject thrall as we studied each and every page, from Pukka pies, being the nations No. 1 pie brand to the launch of a new curry dip from Goldfish.
There are chip shop award ceremonies, grand, star studded balls, exhibitions and shows and don't even get Darrell started on the range of oils, containers and vinegar substitutes advertised!
Let's just say our eyes and minds were well and truly opened to the erstwhile unknown. Trust us when we say, to quote Disney's Aladdin, it's "......a whole new world", about which we were absolutely total strangers to until now, except for the eating of that is!
We wouldn't exactly describe it as a truly romantic sphere of work, the fatty aroma with a sprinkling of vinegar sort of let's it down, but we're now tres au fait with a McWhinney's Sausage and Friars Pride, not to mention the world of possibilities of a Lady Jane potato ........ and 5th June this year being National Fish and Chip Day ...... of which, now thoroughly enlightened, we intend to fully celebrate. What are we like?

You've done it again! :)
Yesterday, you had me wanting pancakes - with Golden Syrup being non-negotiable. (And not available here.)
Now, my mouth is watering, thinking of fish and chips. :)
All together now. I WANT FISH AND CHIPS, AND I WANT THEM NOW!!!
Perhaps you can start a touring review of Fish & Chip shops as you go about your travels? Lots to choose from in Southport.
