Re: Chip shops near you (how many)
Oh, and I should have been a bit clearer......I didn't fill up the vinegar from the water in the horse trough(horses might have supped the water, but I wouldn't.....it was full of muck)....I filled it from the tap on the wall....the one that filled the trough.......so it was clean water.

Re: Chip shops near you (how many)
When I was at Mary Magdalen's primary School I was trusted ( in my last couple of years) to go across to the chippy on the corner of York Street for the teacher's lunches,this had to be done surreptitiously as the dinner supervisor used to go off in a right strop if the headmaster and the senior teachers weren't eating in the dining hall. I used to think it was wildly exotic to be having a takeaway lunch and relished my undercover missions! ( used to make the teachers brews too, and they all had individual melamine mugs, I still remember Mrs Forrest being an orange cup and the head's was a taller dark green mug. Daft how these things stay with you.)

Nah they were all an awful lot older than me and hairy ears are a real turnoff, even to a 10 year old!
But great times, a fantastic school and the headteacher, Mr William Anderson was a giant of a man, he always had steak pud chips peas and gravy! Fond memories.

Re: Chip shops near you (how many)
The first chippy I can remember going to was on the corner of South St and Clement St. The old girl would give you an upside down mixture if you asked. The second one was the famous one opposite the baths, three pennyworth of chips if I remember and she would give you the crispy bits if you asked nice. Where we are now we have three good chippy,s within 5 min drive.

Re: Chip shops near you (how many)
Back in the late 1940's early 50's there was a "Chip Shop" on the left hand side of Church St going up to the Church (just past Grimshaw St), the shop was one of three (Butchers, Fred Kirkhams and the Chippy) almost opposite 25 Church St. Bloody good tucker as well.l

Re: Chip shops near you (how many)
Couple of things to do with Chippies! I was in Asda the other day and a couple of lanes over was a bloke that owned a Chinese chippy in town. He had one of those big trollys full, and I mean full of cheap bags of chips costing less than a quid, easily get 10 portions a bag and charge you £1.20+ a portion, the thief!!! Got charged over £12 for fish, chips and mushy peas the other day, me Mam and Dad would have turned in their graves!!!! Started to sound like them now!!!

Twelve pounds! I remember my first summer job, working at Dutton's in the malt store ... paid me just over ten pounds a week!

Re: Chip shops near you (how many)
What is the cheapest fish and chips people can remember? In maybe 1964, the local chippy was 1 shilling and sixpence for fish and chips
