Less, the mention of scraps from the frier brought his nibs some fond memories of his granddad ‘Chippy ‘ Slater. Old Chippy had a number of fish and chips shops over the years and used to give the batter scraps to the young ones for free when they called at his shop after watching the flicks at the Empire or Palladium Cinemas. The movies probably cost them 3d or 6d and they wouldn’t have any money left for anything else but they always knew that Chippy Slater would feed them.

Now THAT'S going back a long time.
