# I like chips with mayonaise. I prefer them soaked in peas and gravy from the chippy though.
If your chips crunch when you eat them you're doing it wrong.

And there's no pans on. Vats yes - pans no. Vats which have been simmering for so long I'm sure life is forming at the bottom.

And everything is fried, even the picked eggs. And the chips come covered in cheese.

It's heaven. Which is where you'll end up if you eat there more than once a year.

# the disclaimer is that this happened ten years ago
but ten years back pound notes - bank of scotland, i think; i think both clydesdale and rbos had stopped them - were *always* given in change by the butchers in st andrews. i think they had a massive stock of them or something. it wasn't very easy to buy anything with them in england.

for all i know the butchers has shut down and pound notes have finally died.



edit: i just went and checked. the nerds on wikipedia reassure me that pound notes are still issued in scotland, but it's rbos that issue them, not bos. that told me.

passed from the butchers and the pub. i imagine the pub then went and spent them at the butchers, because they never gave them out in change. neither did anyone else.
