Every Day, Week, Month and Year seem to have been claimed by someone as their special day! I'm going to rename today as :-
"National Fish & Chip Day with Salt and Vinnie".
BTW is it coincidence that its a Friday? Does the date move to the nearest Friday? Questions, always questions..........

I like it.... Salt and Vinnie.... we'll be having a crisp especially flavoured. If the crisps have grey hairs growing on them I for one won't be buying them

Apparently it was moved to the nearest Friday as it coincided with the Queens Platinum Jubilee celebrations?

Just finished my home made jobbie and it was lush!
Deviated slightly from original as it was yellow stickered smoked haddock in a cheese and mustard sauce with home made chunky chips cooked in the wok with garden peas.
Total cost probaly equalled under three squid so quite a bit cheaper than the chippy version and dare I say it, quite a bit nicer!
PS I was jokingly called a racist off my Son who's partner is Chinese. In a text I sent the auto correct changed it from 'Chunky' chips to 'Chinky' chips!

Chinky Ships...........could have been worse.
Clunky ships
Churly Chops.
My Son saw the funny side of it but their is a big discussion going on within the family about their kids being taught to respect those that self identify as male or female,transgender or even microwave for that matter, even though their sex is dictated by their plumbing at birth in my opinion.
It's an immotive subject this gender neutrality and choosing pronouns, so I won't get into it, but it's summat this generation is going to have to deal with much more than my generation.
Sorry to digress from what was a very pleasant Fish & Chip day!

Vinnie, I was having much the same conversation with someone yesterday but from a different angle. About mothers to be who ask for free stuff for their baby that must be either blue or pink depending on what they're expecting.. They may already have all the stuff in one colour but, because its the wrong one, they'll chuck it out rather than use it. Why didn't they buy green or yellow stuff to start with?

Just recently bought my first pink shirt. When you get to my age you couldn't give a s**t what people think! Should have done it years ago.
