Why are portions gettin smaller from the chip shop
 

and yet the prices just keep goin up?

i went to the church street shop for some fish and chips and when she put the chips on the paper i was like u gotta be kidding me

it was tiny!

and the fish wasnt big either - could've got a much more filling meal for £3

i know its not all shops hte one in ozzy does decent portions.

Maybe the owner has watched "Super Size Me" and is expressing concern about the health of his customers ...

Fish and chips for three quid! Another reminder of my advancing age ... I can remember fish, chips, and peas for 1/6! At the Pilot House: massive portions of cod and chips, or haddock and chips, with a pint of John Smiths, for about $10.

Of course, the air fare to Canada etc. does tend to make it less of a bargain.

We used to get a portion of chips and 2 small sausages for our youngest 2 ....now we have to buy a portion each ........... and not because the kids are getting bigger either :eek:

Next year it could be 6 chips and one sausage. (Boom and Bust)
That is down to ten years sustained growth and financial stability.
Salt & vinegar 50p to cover inflation, growing rents and rates.

You wrote this in jest but our canteen/resturant at work actually charges 6p for a sachet of vinegar! Salt is currently free......

Crude vinegar (Chip shop) is about a pound a bucket full and most of that is diluted.
I think I may be tempted to carry some in my pocket if fish and chips were on the menu.

Oaklea chippy & York Street still serve decent portions, also Henry Street in Church

Had lunch in the cafe there yesterday, and the portions were ample...even for me, and I have a good appetite.

Don't know about the take-away counter though.

I've had small portions there before, at many chipies now they offer different size portions, we always get a large portion between three.
Many moons ago when we had a chippy (70's/80's) my mum used to give about 3 scoops per portion, now your lucky if you get a scoop.
