I never had that, in fact I don't think I ever heard that expression before! If anyone was ever selling chips for 6p a portion then I'd have been sure to have heard about it. Must be a Northern thing eh?

Boring old mixed salad tonight but very healthy, supermarket day hasn`t arrived yet. By the way, you Brits do have some strange eating habits here in Spain. For example I can go to a predominantly Brit area at around say 11.00-12.00 am and find that due to the current economic crisis, that they have combined breakfast with lunch, the end result is normally 3 eggs, 6 rashes of bacon, 3 sausages, baked beans, fried tomatoes, several hash browns, toast and something rather inedible called black pudding..........Its amazing how they fit it all on one plate but its even more amazing how they fit it in their stomachs

Oh no. This is where I refer to my French roots and swear blind I'm not English.
Has anyone ever witnessed the queue of Brits climbing onto the ferry Dover to Calais?
