"I must say, casting my mind back too many years, the limited menu I remember at my local chippy was a bonus. You never found yourself standing behind some ditz who was reading the menu and holding up a whole line of customers while deciding what to order. Your choice was fish and chips. I don’t even recall a choice of fish back then in the 1950s.  The only real decision was how much of each and with or without mushy peas.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tIt was fast food before the era of McDonald’s. There was somebody manning the fryer and somebody who took care of wrapping the orders and taking the cash.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tUp until probably 10 years ago we had a thriving fish and chip shop here in Burlington. \n\tHere \n\t \n \n\n\n\tIt still exists but the last time @Kerry Bealand I had lunch there it was extraordinarily disappointing.\n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\tWhen I would go with my husband in the 1980/1990s the clientele was already mostly seniors. Tea was served in a tea pot (meant for the table) with a crocheted or knitted cosy. Looking back I am tempted to call it quite twee! \n \n\n\n\t \n \n\n\n\t \n \n"
