I can just remember fish and chips costing a shilling (3d for chips and 9d for fish). |

Plenty of nostalgia in OP. What my grandma would have thought if she knew my favourite eateries are Japanese, Indian and Thai. Browns in Chester for high tea was height of spohistication (as was Howells in Cardiff). And sgod a slod (fish'nchips) was quite an exotic treat then. :-D ;-) |
