    Do you have Gravy as well? Can't get any gravy in the chippies down south or decent mushy peas...:rotfl: :rotfl:

    I was in Exeter services and we did have chips( bloomin awful ones they were too) served by a Polish chap who didn't understand what gravy was.. he kept saying Graby:confused: I wish Peter Kay had been there...

    When i said it was used to stop chips from drying up ( sarcastically)he looked at the chips and said they were already dry..and then wondered why i couldn't stop laughing.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Chips with gravy :confused: Must be a Watford gap divide :D

    Gravy is definitely a northern thing. I love gravy on chips but don't think many do it down here. The only respite from this is the pea fritter which seems to be a southern thing - i'd never heard of them before I moved here.

    Scraps - also a northern thing. As are decent fishcakes.

    I bin finking. :eek:
    When I get motivated and positive (thanks SAmmy and Lou) I get things done down here and the day goes a lot faster then when I sit on my backside getting miserable.
    However, on a quiet day, there is only so much I can do.
    Can anone think of ways I could spend the quiet times doing something to bring in more income? You used to be able to stuff envelopes but machines do that now.
    Just a thought. :o

    BB? Whats the AQA thing, I've always wanted to know myself......

    and BB dont get a pasty from Greggs_pale_ ( but being ex-Ginsters Salesman I would be biased wouldn't I )
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !

    Pepe - it's a working from home, answering questions on just about anything and everything service (only those broad minded should apply - some questions are quite rude in amongst the train times, the recipe requests and please can you sort my love life out!)

    Don't mind pea fritters, scraps are great and fishcakes:drool: I actually just prefer salt and vinegar unless the chips are awful then you need gravy:rotfl:
    I think it depends on the oil used on the chips..but as i rarely eat them now it makes no odds.:o
