Update - It was fairly quiet yesterday evening so there is a lot of virtual fish left over. Rather than waste it we will be opening at mid-day for a few hours.
P. S. It is Saturday today not Sunday or Monday or any other day.
Many people have a traditional Fish 'n' Chip supper on Good Friday because it is a Friday or because of religious beliefs. Following the success of the Virtual BBQ I will be hosting a Virtual Fish 'n' Chip Supper here from 6:00pm. There will be no meat (e.g. sausages, savaloies, kebabs, etc.) or feel fried Mars Bars (too naughty)...

ok... mmmm haddock,, chips garden peas and coleslaw.. and a steaming mug of tea please😀😊.. right now i’ve got aunt bessie fluffy oven chips and Young’s breaded haddock cooking in the oven😂
Here you are - yours was fried in sunflower oil rather than the beef dripping. Glad you asked for soya milk as we have run out of almond and oat milks!
I once was driving past a monestry and saw a sign "Free Fish 'n' Chips for Weary Travellers". I pulled in and one of the best fish suppers I had ever had. Afterwards I said to one of the monks "Are you the fish fryer?" "No" he replied "I am the chip monk"!
The small village next to ours did a wonderful thing last week. The Chippie, although now closed, and friends delivered 150 free fish and chip suppers to the old and infirm people in the village. Such a pity we don't live in that village.
This happened a few weeks ago and I was looking forward to a "naughty" fish supper" only to be told a few hours before I was outside their delivery radius! ☹️
Ah well I'm half a mile away so I didn't even ask. Actually I don't like fish and chips LOL but I Thought it was a lovely kind thing to do. That village ahs done loads to help their local elderly. Our village? Absolutely nothing
Great, Saturday lunchtime, what could be better than sausages and chips. Any chance of some baked beans? All to be washed down with a Guinness if possible please?
Meanwhile I’m just going to plant my runner bean seeds in a tray.
I think an Indian is operating a few miles away. They so a takeaway service at lunch time (burgers, etc.) for a large industrial estate next door and passing trade. In the evening it is all change and they become a delivery Indian. I doubt there is any lunchtime trade but think with others closing they will be very busy.
Good Morning It's still breakfast time in my bit of the world...Waterloo Canada. So I have made a good sized stack of pancakes to share with everyone. There is some fresh local Maple syrup and whip cream to go on top. Enjoy!
We are limited but maybe not as much as my friend in London yet. Businesses closed. So I have lots of time if you need me to made up a second batch of pancake. Here is some lemon and sugar if that is more to people taste.
We are lucky here - the cafe near the fish market in Peterhead is still open at lunchtime and evenings doing takeaways so we managed a fish supper eaten in the car watching the boats!
About five years ago we had a brilliant one open in the next village. We loved going on a summer's evening and parking up a few hundred yards away to watch the local cricket team. Sadly after two years there was a change of management and profit rather than customer satisfaction became the driver! With CVD and a bypass I haven't been since but I have been told there has been a further change of management but no improvement. ☹️
Any last minute orders? We close in 30 minutes! Need a 😴 after slaving over a hit fryer!
Are you serving gin? The heat is giving me a headache or maybe I have a slight case of anatadaephobia or something - the fear of geese reading my thoughts even though I am miles away from them.
Basically heart disease is worrying for many sufferers and their relatives and friends. The current pandemic has would this up to another level. Isolating and distancing add to the stress.
These virtual gatherings help take people's minds off their worries for a while. They have the approval of both HU and the BHF. Whether you chose to participate is your personal decision.
Thank you for your response, however I’m fully aware of the purpose of this & other types of health forums as I have said being a heart failure patient myself. Maybe I suggest that you step back a little before sending messages out to new members questioning that in some way I may have a issue, I find that quite intimidating & disrespectful to be honest, I think you also have to be reminded that some 17k are members on this forum & I’m sure plenty are on here just like me who have currently not posted
I'm not sure what I find more disturbing about your posts - that you thought them appropriate, or that two people up-ticked your comment(s). Sock puppets, much?
It is standard on message board forums to scroll past posted discussions a person has no interest in, why you have chosen to attack not one but two of the most supportive HeartStars on a discussion meant to ease the social isolation during the coronavirus crisis is simultaneously sad and frankly infuriating. If you aren't interested in the discussion, why bother commenting - why not scroll past and find something more to your taste?
I find these virtual gatherings exceptionally helpful as I cope with not just receiving The Letter (putting me into self-isolation until June) but the social isolation I've been in since my heart wobble that began in March 2019. I honestly cannot wrap my head around someone like you trying to drop a toad in the virtual punch bowl, I really cannot.
I had to stop looking at the site yesterday in frustration with some pointless comments (like yours). 24 hours on I'm feeling the frustration rising again.
First of all thank you for sharing your thoughts with me unfortunately on this occasion we seem to disagree however where we do agree is that ALL heart patients whether in self isolation or not are going through difficult & challenging times alike.
What I have learnt in such a short period being a member is that some clearly on here don’t appear to like being questioned /challenged / disagree regarding their post but yet happy themselves to question my integrity & seemingly think the only way to respond is to imply that I seem to have some other agenda, no just a different opinion to one’s own.
Also may I point out to you because someone who takes the time to like ones message doesn’t necessarily mean that these as you suggest as being a “Sockpuppet” A sockpuppet is an online identity used for purposes of deception that in its self what you have implied is insulting to the ones who liked my message & would be clearly against the forums rules.
How strange? You have only just joined with no profile and only posted this reply. The late Antony Burgess was caught reviewing his own books under a pseudonym!
Thank you for your response Michael however I’m not quite sure why you felt it necessary to explain how heart disease can effect one’s daily lives, whether being the patient or a family member, I know to well how debilitating these conditions can be, mine being heart failure.
Secondly maybe HU have got it wrong on this occasion with there approval as you suggest that fellow heart patients find this sort of nonsense comforting or in some way takes our minds of the condition we live with, I hope HU/BHF have a rethink.
I honestly can't see what your problem is! Because I am early to bed, early to rise I have only participated in a couple. Nothing more than harmless fun. If you don't like it you do not have to join in! Just like a vegan not ordering a rib eye actually!
Hi Michael. As I don't get notifications until the day after posting, can you let me know when you are next turning on the fryer, please? Tofish & chips would go down nicely, but I need to know when to expect it, so that I don't stuff myself with pizza & garlic bread beforehand
