1.80 for a(small) bag of chips at the local - which was a shock .... last time i bought a bag it was 80pence and 1.40 got you a large bag.

a tin of coke in the chippy would set you back 1.20.... i would just order my chips and pop to the spar for the drinks.

Yeah I reckon the can was a quid! Sweet mark up there! I'd normally have a brew but I'm on the move.

one of the few things i pine over is proper chips....

there is the "Belgian Pommes Boutique" in town, oh, and something-Wolf in town where the chips are good. a portion there costs around 2,50€, but they are good.

otherwise it's just fries here. =(

Small chips is about 75p at my local chippy, no idea how much a can of pop is though, anywhere for that matter!

Think Fish and chips is about £3. Very good as well.

Small chips is either 70 or 80p (large is £1) and i'm pretty sure a can is 60p.

Chips are really nice too. Village chippy in south Barnsley.

Scraps, bits, scrapings - those are the terms I have heard being used (worked in a chippy in North Yorkshire for several years in my teens/early twenties).

They are so you can buy two small instead of one large then you don't look like a fat loaner...

Small chips has just gone up 10p to £1.10 and pop is 70p. However they sell giant bottles of pop for £1.

The chips are amazing and from the Poulton chippy Morecambe

Does this this happen to everywhere you leave?
Makes mental note to buy property in your street then hound you out of town.

They feed us proper up here 😉

I survived on that meal for a few weeks when I was setting the business up and had no money. Try it with a barm as well and add some HP sauce.....

Reminds me of an incident when my mate was an apprentice. Barms are barmcakes, bread rolls, flour cakes around Bolton but in Blackburn they call them Tea Cakes. Now Tea Cakes to us are things you toast and have currants in. My Mate was asked to do the butty run and one lad asked for a bacon and egg TeaCake as he was from Blackburn.

He ended up with a bacon and egg TeaCake as in Bolton TeaCake, currants and the lot. He ate it 😯

Where do the english hide all these mythical chipshops ? Your chips are all way too thin when ever ive had fish and chips down your way - or the fish comes out looking like a harry ramsdens frozen fish.

Where do the english hide all these mythical chipshops ?

In the northwest- its where chipshops first established and its still where most of them are, as in proper chipshops rather than Pizza/Kebab/Chicken/Fish/French Fries shops, In areas like the Fylde its reckoned something like 70% of the potatoes harvested are sold in chipshops within a 30 mile radius. Although I couldn't find a chipshop a proper Blackpool for love or money.

Theres a great programme called The North on a Plate that pops up on BBC4 from time to time that relates the french sense of[url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terroir ] terroir[/url] to northern food and its the combination of the growing conditions for spuds, the proximity of the sea and the industrial history (a chipshop was a coal-miners retirement plan) that lead to chippies being so numerous and so good there.

There are other places where chipshops are good but it can be more about the fish, in the northwest its about the chips.

Needs to be done in beef dripping and even then theres good and bad. There've been quite a few times we've walked into a chippy and she's asked what they cook them in. If they say veg oil we're out the door.

There are 2 or 3 in Barnsley that are good. One at Garforth at Leeds (though not been for a while) and one in Wakefield that are on our list of places we can go.
