Default Has the World gone mad?

O.k so this is a quick rant.

Was in Blackpool yesterday to see the illuminations with my g/f and her 2yr old daughter, went to a chippy and asked for chips with scraps, this is how it went...

'Hi can I get chips with scraps please?'

'We don't do scraps'

'Why not?'

'Health and Safety reasons...'

'Are you kidding me?'

'Nope, sorry..'

Cue me walking out flabbergasted. What has the World come to?

rant over, thanks.

I used to get scraps when I was younger , probably almost twenty years ago now mind! I think one day I realised that they are just pretty much pure fat and stopped asking for them.

Pretty ridiculous that they won't give you any if you ask though

The problem is that in this time when obese kids is becomeing front page news someone has obviously seen it fit to not allow people to buy scraps of fatty batter that have been sat in oil frying away for the last 3 hours. lol.
