Title: Idiot chip shop
Post by: Martin_1962 on 04 January 2011, 17:08:39
Bought some chips tonight to go with tea.

Decided not to due to 50p rise in price £2 to £2.50.

Chinese are 85p cheaper for a similar amount.

And they saw us go into the Chinese.


IDIOTS >:( >:(

I don't use chippies much nowadays but 22/23 years ago when i was driving a 7.5tonner down south, on the a259 @ Pevensey (Between Eastbourne & Bexhill) there was a chippy that did a "Beano" for a £1. A Beano was a meat fritter & beans between two slices of bread & the whole lot was battered & deep fried. You did'nt need chips!
    I was young & active back then, had a 30inch waist & weighed 10 or 11 stone...REALLY! No more Beanos for me. :(

Don't worry too much about them they are destroyed during either cooking or freezing. Just think of them as additional protein! ;D ;)

Silly money turnover but less proffits than the 80's

Blamit it and a lot of the pub's shutting down to long opening hours and pubs doing food.

Plus supermarkets undercutting and the duty free changing to stop the chea[ van imports.

There are only two things in the sea that I can be found consuming occasionally. Salt and Water. :y

Anything else? (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-sick006.gif)
