Everyone else would probably have a jolly without me. Hey - win/win.<BR/><BR/>Yep, fish and chips here in the midlands are nearly a tenner for two portions. Cod alone is about £3.50... and half the time it isn't real cod anyway but generic white fish. I suppose morally that's kind of right as I'd hate to see the cod fished out of existence but calling cod "cod" when it isn't is annoying. At least Sweeney Todd and partner just said they were selling "meat pies". Far more honest even if it is a sin of omission.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133900289384226725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-38160720403423821292008-08-07T13:10:00.000+02:002008-08-07T13:10:00.000+02:00Oh I think you definitely have the best of it stay...Oh I think you definitely have the best of it staying behind. It's lovely to get rid of colleagues for a while. Trips aren't really jolly if you have to spend them with people you don't particularly want to be with. <BR/><BR/>It's ages since I last had fish and chips. I must put that right. Is it really a tenner for two portions - that's shocking? Specials night at the curry house is rather cheaper than that - but then again I suppose there's a ready supply of rats for them to use whereas the fishies are all quota-ed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009574.post-54333297045167029632008-08-07T08:20:00.000+02:002008-08-07T08:20:00.000+02:00Amanda, I'm not sure that 2 days in Eastbourne wou...Amanda, I'm not sure that 2 days in Eastbourne would be considered such a "jolly" here!<BR/><BR/>TimeWarden, I know what you mean... and fish and chips are hardly a luxury these days either!
