Oh I have mixed up things just few few thousands of years,what is that between friends?
Reminds me of a friend, a wine buff,in a reastaurant , asked for a 1967 Beaujolais,wine came ,he sniffed,tasted etc and said that is not a 67.
That year was a very good one ,what had been brought was a 69.
The waitress said”Oh come now, you are surely not going to make a fuss over a couple of years are you?”
Thanks Redroger.

Well the restaurant was a U.C.P restaurant,United Cattle Products.
On Market St Manchester.
They sold tripe etc but made good steak pies,served with chips and processed peas!
The family were back over in the UK on holiday on from Belgium .
But the father had wine with everything,even baked beans,honestly.
It is funny how simple food ,when you can’t get it assumes gourmet status.
Walls sausages and pork pies.
Fish and chips with mushy peas.
Suet steak puddings from the chippy,
Corned beef butties with brown sauce,we missed those when in Belgium.
Conversely on a recent trip to Belgium we had lovely chips with mayonnaise in the street ,
Little  brown North Sea shrimps,
Eels in green herb sauce,
Gorgeous beers and coffee with spicy speculoos biscuits.
Gentse waterzooi,
Viktoria.

My local chippie won the competition for best in England 2018, Brilliant stuff and reasonable prices.

Where is it?,and what do you consider reasonable?
A full fillet of prime haddock is £3+  near me but they are cold by the time I get home.
Ages ago1960’s the chips were sold inlittle bags as big — or small as a quarter of sweets.The fish were about four inches square, and were enough.
What huge portions are consumed nowadays.
The portions of chips are gross ,four people could be satisfiedwith one box full, you know a polystyrene lidded tray about ten inches long and four high.
The fish are thick and long .
Nice one in Bury,I sometimes treat myself if shopping when near the Rock, Thompson’s.
No one gives out the little bags of batter scraps doused in salt and vinegar.
Do you have a chippy night?.
Enjoy next time you do.
Don’t faint but I love curry sauce on my fish

Not sure about prices - BUT - fish and chips from Yorkshire ARE (possibly were, as I haven't had any since August)  the BEST!!! Proviso - they have to be cooked in dripping!  Had some good ones in Saltburn by the Sea on our last visit

Actually, this rather peeves me. I was conceived June/July 1942. von Paulus's 6th Army was driving on Stalingrad and Rommel's Afrika Korps was threatening Egypt again. Pity I didn't ask my father what the hell he and my mother were playing at. .
