Fish And Chips

[jennyjoan]

Called over to my favourite chippy (before I became sick) and ordered the usual fish and chips. I couldn't believe how long it took lets say 30 minutes for the order so I sorta put it down oh well there were a few of us waiting. Anyway discovered the chippy were making up a massive order for a Deliveroo guy. I was so angry,

Now do you think that's fair - somebody sitting on their a&se in the lovely house getting delivered but us standing in the queue (and pretty cold too) were second - what do you think

[EcclesCake]

I think the large order came in first.

Change to a different chippy, jj.

[jennyjoan]

well ok - would it have been ordered by an APP ie Just Eat - I'm unsure of APPs

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Yes it would be annoying but at least you'd know your fish and chips were freshly cooked and not warmed up.

[jennyjoan]

Tony we don't have great chippies where I live so I travel a bit to go to this lovely chippy.

[Zacs-Master]

Maybe you should use deliveroo to order. Just a thought.

[bhg481]

They must have put their order in before you. The fact that they paid someone to collect it for them should not move them backwards in the queue, so I don't see why it is unfair.

[jennyjoan]

I was freezing waiting - you know there were about 6 or 7 guys making the order up - I thought the Deliveroo guys order would never stop. I don't think it is fair - a couple should have done the Deliveroo order and the others do the queue.

I always ring my order though and when I collect I don't have to wait behind a long queue.

[jennyjoan]

Like I'm talking of very elderly people in the queue who looked cold and pretty miserable.

[Jackdaw33]

I only wish the least of my worries was having to queue for 30 minutes in the chippy.

[Mamyalynne]

We used to ring and order from chippies and other takeaways then go and pick up.

[Mamyalynne]

Keep going Jack, get stronger soon.

[tonyav]

Could do has zebo does, and your fish and chips will be there waiting for you.

[sapelesam]

Maybe the pharmacist was filleting fish out the back, not praying after all.

[ummmm]

Make your own fish and chips. Cheaper and nicer.

[jennyjoan]

Sorry Jackdaw - know you are not well and yes a chippie would be the least of your worries but get well soon.

Ummmm - must say I make brilliant chips and use Kerrs Pinks potatoes - absolutely delicious but fish I cannae do well and it is pretty much the fish I go for

[woofgang]

I don't think its unfair exactly....but it may well be bad business....make people wait too long for too often and they won't come back.

[Zacs-Master]

The answer seems to be staring you in the face.

[ummmm]

JJ...the good thing about frying your own fish is you can judge it by the colouring of the batter.

I was always wary about doing it myself but tried it with this recipe. So easy and tasty.

Obviously ignore the instructions that don't apply to the fish..
