Incidentally, under 'Fried Fish Dealers' are 66 establishments and these just within the Accrington boundaries! How could Accy support 66 chippies??

Because back then most people had square arseholes, un id wur easier to call intut chippy ont way hoam fro wurk, than tu start cookin sumat, no ready meals, no micro waves
