    Where in the world are you?

    If up norf, and it's a proper chippie, then fish, chips, mushy peas and Irn Bru.

    If darn sarf, or it's not a proper chippie, then chicken and mushroom pie, chips, beans, gravy and Irn Bru.

    Proper chippie: no skin on the fish (leaving the skin on is a filthy southern practice), no bones in the fish, cooked in fat (not poncy tepid vegetable oil).

    Edit: although a proper northern chippy will have closed about 8 minutes ago.

            How about the off-licence? Is that open?

            8 cans of lager and a couple of bags of crisps. A bachelor's dinner.

            Or just go to the pub.

                  Chips and gravy - ugh!

                  Mind you, where my cousin lives over in Derbyshire they used to get Cheesy Chips. Even worse.

                    Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                      Often true but not necessarily.
