Re: Has the World gone mad?
and the northern way of asking for them makes me smile. the future ex mrs keithd is from leeds, we went into a chippie and she said "twice please". i asked if the assistant was a frickin mind reader. twice what? once and a fish. whats that? just random words thrown together

Re: Has the World gone mad?
I totally agree with the "twice please" method, plus no you can't have gherkins in a chippy!
Now not having gravy, that is a criminal offence. Plus down south you get the strangest looks when asking for a chip butty, and things go from bad to worse when you explain it's just chips between a breadcake! |

Re: Has the World gone mad?
That's means you must have moved down here from up't north! No one I know in Basingstoke knows what "scraps" are! I only know cos family is from up't north!
