There is the Highlander Inn where you can get Fish and Chips if you want. It's just over the bridge on 13th street into South Carolina and it will be on your right.
Never been there, but I've been warned by my work mates not to go there late at night

Re: What Do You Miss?
Well ask me a year ago and id have a long list but now
the only think I miss is a good curry and fish n chips and nice Biscuits.
I do miss nice drives through small little English villages in the summer and having a nice sunday roast somewhere in a village pub.
and actually going to a football game.
I am up to date on ALL brit tv shows - downloaded from bit torrent sites and burned to DVD and watched on my telly. Im up to date (as of 11/29) on EE and i have seen all three seasons of the brilliant Doc martin and all 4 seasons of the brilliant New Tricks. couple that if you buy a DVD player that is region free (around 100 bucks) it plays UK dvds on US tvs ! so you can order UK DVDs to your hearts content.
I get the fox soccer channel and setanta sports so I get 8 Premier league games every weekend and all carling cup, European championship, and Fa cup from the 3rd round onwards.
so all in all im doing ok :-)
