I've just read a bloke from Yorkshire is having to have therapy after realising 4 potions of fish chips and mushy peas cost him Β£54 pounds πŸ˜‚ this reminds me so much of my dad and his " turn that light off ,put the immersion heater on one shot,you don't need so much coal on the fire,walk petrol costs money etc ,I do miss the old fella.

Breath easy everyone .

£54 for 4 lots of fish, chips and mushy peas? Day light robbery! Folks in Lancashire would need therapy too 😁

It`s rerun each year when Yorkshire play Lancashire at cricket. Needless to say Yorkshire usually wins.

Aren`t a lot of Rugby League matches won by the French? Only out of interest as that is where I live, and have done for last 30 years.

I’m a Lancashire girl and I remember years ago paying Β£13 for fish , chips n peas for myself and hubby at Harry Ramsdens in Blackpool .The same meal plus free scraps was about Β£5.00 from the local chippy at the time I was absolutely mortified, took me years to get over it and I was more annoyed because we had actually queued for ages for the privilege of eating there . πŸ˜‘πŸ˜‚

My Dad from Cumberland, I still turn the lights out when I leave a room. Drove Hubby nuts, when grumbling if he left the fridge/freezer door open when going back for a second item, or boiled a full kettle for one mug of coffee.

Not at all soulboy, being as the post was aimed at northerner's I hadn't thought the genuine expression would offend anyone, but I appreciate not everyone would be of the same opinion :) Twas not I that brought the subject up really - Painterswife replied to me and I was responding to her - so glad no harm done :)

Have I offended anyone πŸ€” ?? If so I’m sorry but then that would offend you so I’m not sorry πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ I would never choose to cause offence but if someone chooses to be offended when I’m not being offensive then I’d be offended πŸ˜‚.

Used to get a bag of scraps from the chippy for a penny( old penny that is) when I was a kid. Scraps were the bits of chips and batter from the fish leftover in the fryer for anyone that doesn't know. Yummy. πŸ˜†

Even in darkest London we had scraps. BUT they cost 6p, as I remember. We used to buy them on our way home from Guides, until Captain told us it looked bad to be mooching up the High Street eating scraps in Guide uniform. However we found a back way home, over the tube line and through the allotments, so nobody much could see us.πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹
