Whilst the chip shop is closed we still have plenty of choice for late night food. There are Indian takeaways, Chinese, kebab shops and pizza restaurant’s etc. You name your taste and the chances are you can probably get it, except that is if you fancy some fish and chips or pie and chips. I know the kebab shops, even the Indian and Chinese places do chips - but they're just not the same.
Sadly, gone are the days of the fish supper (that's what we called them) wrapped up in newspaper, black pudding, white pudding, mushy peas etc; they're all a thing of the past it would seem and have been replaced by artificial, over salted potato shaped into skinny fries with mechanically reclaimed chicken. This “lovely” meal is of course served up in a polystyrene tray with a plastic or wooden fork thrown in for good measure.
Please... bring back the traditional British chippy at pub closing time. I miss the mushy peas, fish and chips, but most of all I miss that lovely chippy sauce!
