Back in those days I don't think the ink came off the newspapers the same as it does now. I never remember having inky fingers, and yes I know exactly what you mean by the aroma given out by a hot bundle of chips in newspaper. It sort of came through the paper in a way that it doesn't come through the paper we get chips in these days.

And while we're talking about chip paper, why is it that the little bit of paper they put right next to the chips and fish sticks to them and brings all the batter off the fish but where they touch the other paper (because the small piece is so small it doesn't cover everything) nothing sticks? Why then do we need that little piece? It sticks to the tops of steak puddings too and sometimes even pulls the tops off!
