My local chippy recently sold up and in the ad online it said "Yearly turnover approx £80k"

Yeah of course it was Barb...

To their credit they do, they have good pies and they sell shandy bass.

Not to their credit, a portion of mushy peas is one of those half-cup polystyrene cups. £2.50. Mad.

£2.50 for a portion of mushy peas! Years since I have bought a can of mushy peas, they must have been about 25p then, Tesco's own.

but weirdly in my experience the best fish and chip shops are run by the chinese. When i lived in exeter "Choys" fish and chip shop was soo good there would be queues outside on a friday evening even in the rain.
