Its great isnt it?

yeah
I kinda miss it. My brother lives in London, now and is known by TWO local chip shops as 'Mush Peas', because he's about the only who orders them, and I think in one case the only reason they started selling them was his fault

I'm from down south
The first time someone asked me to pick one up from the chippy, I asked "Duck or goose?"

I might treat myself to chippy chips at the weekend when I move.

but I'm moving over a couple of weeks
do I have to have chips every day?
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 18:40, Reply)

only on the first night to the letter of the law
but that will still put you at risk of a civil suit
( willenium Fist bump for verification, Tue 17 Jan 2012, 18:41, Reply)

How about
the first day I move stuff, then the first night I actually sleep there?

That should cover it

You are far too practical.
The idea is that you have to hunt for the vinegar and salt. I guess you'd pack yours in a special box all marked up ready.
