Further to chips. The cheapest I remember was 3d for chips and 6d for fish. An Auntie of mine remembered 1/2d for chips and 1/2d for fish. 'French Fries' were invented in Wiltshire because they had the Devizes to Chippenham. Battered fish were introduced by the Jewish Community in London. Chips were first made in Lancashire using cotton seed oil. Brian of SpotMog On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 10:26 AM, <david.birch1...@talktalk.net> wrote: Chips are a rip off these days. You can easily pay a £ or more for a normal portion. It’s not all that long ago since “standard” price for chips was 6d (2½ p). You also got chips in newspaper (, but with fresh white paper between the chips and newsprint). This probably kept costs down a bit. Now I suppose “health and safety” nonsense has helped with the changes and price rises. All those horrible polystyrene trays have to be paid for………. TC David (getting old and grouchy)..

Oh well.
