Chippy Tea?

[Ken4155]

Just listening to local radio and they have the chairman of the National Fish Fryers Association on at the moment. He is actually saying that the price of a portion of fish 'n' chips could soon rise to as much as a tenner!
He gives the reasons as "a knock-on from the pandemic, the rise in the price of fuel to run the fishing boats and the rise in VAT". He also warns that many 'chippies' will be lost.
I remember a time when a chippy tea was considered a cheap (and cheerful) Friday tea. Can't recall the last time i actually bought fish 'n' chips, but i do know that it will be a long, long time before i do so again.
A tenner!!

I don't have fish and chips that often, but when I do I always order halibut. The local store serves a decent size piece of halibut with a thin coating of tasty batter and lots of chips for the equivalent of 6.50 pounds.

It's a tenner down here to begin with in many places, the cheapest abot 8 and we're swimming in fish around three sides of the Duchy.

The next day I cover the left-over chips with a wet paper towel and microwave them for 10-15 seconds...They're great on sandwiches.
