Oh ye canny shove yur Granny of the bus

It's a long time since I heard that Stephen.

By the way, I've just remembered something that Mo and Maddie were talking about earlier ............ a wallie!! What the hell is that? Don't fancy eating something called a wallie.

And when we wanted batter on our chips we just asked for chips with batter, cracking is pork fat to us.

Hi Pauline, thank goodness you are o.k, you had us in a bit of a tizz worrying that you may have been unwell.
But sensible Shelly had her thinking head on,and said it may have been problems with your internet, or that you were under the weather.
It takes something, when one of our youngest friendlies has her head screwed on right.
I am glad that they have sorted Brents care workers and nursing staff out at long last.
They certainly took their time getting Brents flu jab done. But with all the flu viruses going around at the moment, it's far better to be safe than sorry.
I hope hubby doesn't get you down to much,with his man flu, and that he doesn't pass it on to you love.
You will have to get your face mask out to keep the germs away.

Dermot, we are going to be Great Grandparents next year, and Rita already is one, but neither of us made the news. Now I wonder why that is. Are we not famous enough or something. We have a family tree, (it's an Apple tree in the garden).

Pauline ,a Wally is a pickled Onion.

Mo, I've never heard of anyone eating a pickled onion with chips, our chip shops didn't sell them.

Shelly is always the sensible one, she's got her feet firmly on the ground.

Pauline they have big jars of pickled onions, gherkins and eggs in the chippies around here, but no mushy peas in Kent,but probably do in London.

Bad enough having a snog after chips with vinegar.....

.but a snog after pickled onion YUCH !

Probably as bad as Haggis ROFL

STEPHEN please, you know what haggis does to you, it's certainly not YOUR breath thats smells after eating it. lol
Your gases could be used to fill helium balloons.

Most chip shops round here are owned by Chinese now but when I was young we could only get chips, fish, fishcakes or patties, they didn't sell anything else. We had pie shops that sold pies and peas and we had pork shops that sold pork dips and saveloy dips.

Stephen, does haggis have white pudding in it? What exactly is in haggis?

Mo,

Just trying to 'wind' you up.

Chip shops also sell the pies as well Pauline. We did have a pie mash and liquor(sp) shop open up locally, but it never took of down here. But for true Londoners, it's ecstasy, the same as jellied eels, yuk nasty.
Now give me a good ol steak +kidney pudding any day.

The two chip shops round my way are owned by Chinese people!
All this talk of food is making me hungry and I've had my tea!

HAGGIS

Made from the inards of the sheep, ie Heart, liver, etc.

Mixed with suet, meal, spices etc. And stuffed in a bag made from the sheeps stomach. It is then boiled in the 'bag' until throughly cooked.

Modern 'Haggis' is made in a similar way except for the bag which is man made,

You can get vegetarian haggis.

If you like food with a wee bit of spice to it....you'll like Haggis.

We had BBQ chicken, and chips for dinner tonight, followed by ice cream.
But I think the after eights will have to come out in a minute, I fancy them right now.

I do like spicy food but I've never tried haggis.

Pat, I don't know any chip shops that aren't owned by Chinese now, mind you, they make really good chips, and they put loads in the bag.

I haven't made our dinner yet Mo, haven't even thought about it. Think I'll just do a fry-up.

After Eight Mints.......................

Watch out Mo....................I'm on my way !

Does anyone know where I could buy an English Take-Away in the UK?

Suppose I'd better go and have my bath now, and then do some dinner. Changed my mind about the fry-up, my PJs would smell of bacon.

No, Dermot.
