Another pointless thread

That place used to be on my sales area and supplied lunch when I was down that way. I may pay a visit when you are on with the Goths.

Is that where all the Roughyed's go

This one in Nelson (Best Newcomer 2011 in the Seafish National
Fish and Chip Awards). make a point on the menu that they
use vegetable oil

I'm not sure what Seniors up in Thornton (2012 Independent
Takeaway Fish & Chip Shop of the Year) use, never been there,
but they buy in ready cut chips so I suppose they use
hi-tech fats.

Failed my Mod 1.

Caught a cone on the very last exercise. The only fault I had. All seems a little unfair.

Having to go around a corner in first gear in the rain, straighten up, rev like mad, into second, rev like mad again, then swerve. Not overly sure it's a real-world test! Seems more like a mad-biker-boy type thing!

Ach well, rebooked now.

Algi, Mrs Moore long since went to the great fish fryer in the sky (probably all that dripping :wink. I haven't had fish and chips for donkeys years. Every time we visit the UK I promise myself some fish and chips, but never seem to get them. Ah well, next time .

The last time we had proper fish and chips in fact was at Maggies down in Hastings with fish brought in that morning by the fleet. That was a long long time ago.
We had Dutch fish and chips on the beach at Scheveningen earlier this year, but not the same as the real thing.

Sorry to hear you failed Gareth. Better luck next time.

What does a Dutch fish and chip shop sell (avoiding the obvious answer of fish and chip toasties)?

Patat and Kibbeling. Both delicious, but not the same as UK fish and chips. No vinegar for a start!

We used to have fried fish every morning, except Sunday, for breakfast when I first went to sea in trawlers. The "fish for the cook" was gutted and left overnight to bleed, obviously you were left to choose, within reason, what fish you wanted. I usually had 3 or four haddock fillets and if available a couple of lemon soles filleted. On a long trip when the 'normal' food had run out we would have fish done in different ways, cod baked in the oven and such like. The practice was stopped when the price of fish cost more than supplying bacon and eggs, and more of the other staples.

Back from a long weekend in Hampshire. had a cracking time on Saturday evening with a Skittles and fish and chips session at the local bowls club. Absolute hoot and very friendly.

Monday we dropped by Richmond Park for a spot of Deer watching. The animals are certainly used to humans. They came very close and were not at all like the "Wild" ones at Minsmere in Suffolk. Also popped into SRS and picked up an X5 too. That place is like the best sweet shop I ever new of.

I had my first raw herring and onion on the beach at Scheveningen. One colleague I was with liked it so much he bought a hole bucket to bring home in the car. It took us 3 hours to get it through customs at Hull, so long we were last out.

Bottled Haworth Steam beer now avilable (in the Bingley alcohol shop) Austerity is great! (the beer not the economic policy) That means there are now two micro breweries in Haworth, suprising for such a small space.

Interesting new photographic exhibiton in the Bronte museum re the landscape link

Wouldn't the fish just fall through the hole?

I'm of fore tie pin less on.

Not if you put a flounder or a sole in first

Another question - do slugs serve any useful purpose? Especially those big orange ones.

Bernard

I think they exist to make snails feel smug.
