Mr Ruby felt quite adventurous today,he actually came out to play!!well you could have knocked me down with a feather!We only went to look in the cash and carry(he knows how to treat a girl)lol,and we came back with a years supply of toilet rolls to boot!Well we decided to go the whole hog,and decided that we wouldnt cook for tea,instead we would eat out.So the Peugeot swivelled into the car park and we raced into the fish and chip shop,now I hear you scoff,but fish and chips are a treat these days,we bought cod fillet and chips twice,both with salt and vinegar,and sat in the car park and watched the world go by as we ate them.They were delicious and just what the doctor ordered!How many Mylotters like fish and chips then?or are you a sausage and chips person,or have you tried hoki and chips?

Hi Ruby,well if he takes you for fish and chips again ,then come and pick me up on the way there please lol I just love good fish and chips,Harry Ramsdens is a big time favourtite when we go away.But we always say that the shop salt and vinegar makes the fish and chips taste as they do,but of course the potaotoes that they use are definately half the battle,if they use a good quality potato then they get good quality chips.So you were people watching were you?theres not a lot more interesting that sitting there watching the world go by,its funny what you notice ,there are people having arguments,people rushing cos there on their lunch hour and many just rushing to get home from work.If we go to the beach we like to sit and watch the world go by,get an ice cream and just take time out to relax.You say about Hoki,well we havent ever had that fish,we had coley but we didnt like it,but that was maybe a bit psychological,at home years ago coley was fed to the cat.Glad you enjoyed your day out,wonder where he is goint to take you next time,bet it will be the DIY store lolol

Hello ruby222
Blimey you are so English!! 
Love fish and chips me!! Actually had fish and chips tonight but not from chippy and it really isn't the same. I tell you what I miss is when they used to wrap them in newspaper. That smell of the fish, chips, vinegar and soggy newspaper altogether, sitting in your car, parked up near a beach, watching the sea, nothing like it eh? I never have pasty and chips as you might have thought, nope, pasty is one thing and chips always have to come with battered fish. Maybe that is the English in me!!

Hi Owl,yes lol it was a lovely suprise ,we had our own little picninc in the car ,and did a little bit of people watching at the same time.Fish is really lovely,but as dear if not more costly than meat now,cod is at a high price,and many places look for alternatives to fry instead,when we were in Scotland we ate haddock,fresh haddock too!

I do like fish and chips too but, as you say over here it is a treat now because to buy two lots of fish and chips is pretty expensive considering it's a chippy!!! I do also like sausage and chips but thats more a regular occurance for us as it's so much cheaper!! x

Depending on the weekly budget then it all epends whether we have fish and chips or sausage and chips,but our olcal fish and chip shop has a good deal on at the moment ,on a sunday night they have fish and chis twice for five pounds,working out at two pounds and fifty pence only,thats good value.

That is a good deal! Our local one charges way over £4 for one meal so works out pretty expensive!

Ermm no expense spared there then,he knows how to treat you lol,but I suppose all things being equal he tried,and thats the good thing,but maybe next time you should slip the telephone number of a nice intimate restaurant into his wallet,and see if he gets the hint.

I love fish and chips, a luxury that we usually only afford ourselves when we are on holiday to tell you the truth. There are no decent chippies near us, so I would not even waste the money on it knowing it would be horrible. But down by the seaside it is definately the best fish and chips ever! Plus the fish sizes are HUGE and it is always so fresh. There is a chippy near us and their fish always smells so fishy, like really strong, it is yuck tasting too.
