I'd have thjought they'd have all packed up and gone home by now...
Apparently not, as evidenced by a post bevvie trip to the Merry Fryer last night.
So myself & my mate join a massive queue snaking out the door of the shop & as we inch towards the counter we notice the chippy is getting more and more peeved by the requests for "a small bag of chips with "bits"".
Now I didn't know what this meant but, by all accounts, it's what poor people in the north ask for when they go to the chip ship - it's all the little bits of batter that are periodically skimmed out of the fryer & some people like to eat them.
New one on me.
Anyway, when my mate Tony got to the front of the queue and said "fish and chips please" the bloke had to scrape his jaw off the ground. Think Tony doubled his previous hour's takings in an instant there.
