I used to think I'd had my chips when I went in there.

Soft flabby chips would be a good business for him- he left us all with hardly any teeth!

In Anacortes, the restaurant voted "Best Fish & Chips" is the bowling alley! They really are quite good, though sometimes the batter is not as well cooked as I like it.

The funny thing is, when you order fish & chips, the waitress always asks "you want fries with that?" Is it fish & chips without the chips? Maybe Americans don't realise that "chips" is the UK term for fries.

My wife's aunt and uncle (Dick and Phyllis Whittle) had a "chippie" at 123 London Road in Preston, next door to the pub whose front wall fell into the street many years ago (the Greyhound?). They ran that place for 22 years, living over the shop. Dick eventually died of emphysema, most likely from breathing in all that grease-laden smoke. The extractor fans weren't as powerful as nowadays. In a modern chippie, the extractor system will pick the wrapping paper off the counter!

The chippies I remember our families patronising in Leyland are the one across from the Public Hall on Towngate, famous for "anythink on?", Ratcliffes (where the Booths store was), the one at the top of School Lane next to Roocrofts butchers (still there, I think, but also a Chinese take-out), the one on the corner of Boundary Street and the one on Turpin Green across from where Damp's filling station used to be (also still in business?).

I think the Grundy's van is run by relatives of the famous dentist.
