I don't think they're going to sell many at £4 a throw pam, at the moment I'm getting fish for £2 a time from the Chinese on Dill Hall Lane, but I'll give it a miss at £4:o

Who'd pay £4 for a fish? :confused:

That's before your chips, peas, gravy etc.

That'll kill the fish and chips trade.

You could go out for a meal in a restaurant instead at those prices......as long as you don't have fish I suppose. :rolleyes:

You could, if there are 4 of you and you're all having fish, chips, peas and gravy it's going to cost about £6 a head at those prices.....that's £24. :eek:

Serves who allright ? the fishermen who are having to pay the increased costs for fuel ?, or the Chip shop owners who are forced to up their prices because because of increased costs in basic supplies ?
nice to see someone who wishes misfortune on other folks who work hard for a living ,

I suppose it doesn't help that our fishermen have to adhere to European fishing quotas, this by itself is pushing up the price of fish:(

Re: chips shops
 
I’m sorry to say but the fish and chips offered today are just tasteless compared to what we got in the forties and fifties. There is the odd chip shop that does produce a reasonable dish but in the main fish and chips is just an expensive, tasteless, stomach filler.

we whent to one and it was 80p for a spoon full of mussy peas. i did with out.

Re: chips shops
 
On the few occasions when I get fish and chips to take away, I always ask for a carton of peas. At least that way you get your full whack and it’s the same price. In fact if you order fish and chips twice, one carton of peas is enough for both meals.

The same goes for gravy. Rather than have them pour a bit of gravy over your pie and chips ask for a carton of gravy.

When we were kids we used to rush into a chip a few minutes before it was due to close and breathlessly ask, “Have you any chips left?”

When we got the reply, “Yes! Just a few.” We would rush out even faster shouting, “Well you shouldn’t have made so many.”

Cod n Chips to take away is already £4.60 at my local chippy (£3.50 for fish, £1.10 chips .. Another chippy charges £5.99 and I did see a sign outside a chipshop just down the road (Waterloo) that proudly boasted "fish n chips £8.99 eat in" !
