Random musings and general banter.

My local chippy charges £10.20 for takeaway small cod and chips. But it's excellent quality and very popular in the area. I treat myself once a month.

Mine's £11 for a Haddock supper, but i usually have the Jumbo Haddock supper at £12. Probably once a month as well, but the chipper also has a licensed restaurant area so every so often will have a sit down evening meal of Jumbo Haddock/Chips/Mushy Peas/bread and a Pint.

If we have a Takeaway, it’s either Chinese or KFC, I know the Chinese, Dad has known the owner for years, so gets mates rates.

KFC I think dad gets a family box, haven’t a clue how much that costs

Reminds me an old boss of mine who always got his secretary to go and buy his cigarettes. When his secretary was on holiday he asked the temp to get them. She asked him what ones. Benson and Hedges and if they haven’t got them anything would do. Woolworths out of stock of B&H.

To this day I don’t know if it was intentional or not, but she came back with an individual pork pie. This must’ve been around 1970 and even now it still makes me laugh.

Hasten to add he never asked the temp to get his fags again. The majority of secretaries in those days were almost like servants. I went for a n interview when I left school for a trainee secretary job. Had to do an aptitude test, was told by the personnel officer that I wouldn’t make a secretary in a month of Sundays as I didn’t like being told what to do.

She wasn’t far wrong. I got a job working for a large multinational company and worked my way up to management level. Didn’t like that as i’m a real hands on person, ended up with a job troubleshooting and problem solving.

Used to have Chinese, but haven't had one for years, prefer Indian now. Never had a KFC.

our local chippy does deliveries via Just Eat. Used to be around £11 for cod and chips including delivery. Used to eat half the chips and put the other half in the fridge to have with fried eggs next day. Price stayed the same but portions reduced. It now works out at nearly £20! I now buy a breaded cod fillet and make my own chips, cook both in airfryer. Cost £2.50 and much healthier.
