I had no excuse, really, my mum's new house is about half a mile away from the place I usually got my kebabs from. The opportunity just didn't present itself, plus my wife wasn't really that fussed on them when she tried them anyway.

Nice one.

I did have a fair few battered sausages on my visit though, so I still feel accomplished

We had haddock and chips at the best fish and chip shop I have ever eaten at. I am pleased to report it is still that good!

Same goes for the battered sausage supper, at the best chippy in my old town. The curry chip kicked arse, too.

I want to go back now

My mum was telling me that the dodgy kebab van man that I used to stumble by and feast from back in the day, it's still around but it's now the guys son who has taken over the van.

Good to see some traditions lasting

Pretty sure our kebab shop saw a downturn in trade when I left.

Nice to see they struggled on though.
