Don’t have chip shops where I am but I did like scrumps as we Bristolians call em.
The chippy down the road from me used to sell a big bag of scrumps for about 6d, and it was a BIG bag! Loads of salt and vinegar, it took ages to eat. I doubt any chippy will sell them now. That one is still there, but it’s a burger place now, but I know the bloke who owns it, through his family he has two chippies and two burger places in town, their burgers are as good as anywhere around, with the possible exception of Schwartz Burger in Bath, but I haven’t had one of theirs for years – a twenty-four mile round trip isn’t really justifiable when there’s one down the road!
Next time I see him I’ll have to ask him, I saw him earlier today in fact, wish I’d seen this post before I went into town.
Oh, and read loads of books still.
