May as well for all the use it is. Last time I had cause to call 101, by the time I had gone through the rigmarole of giving all the details their standard form required, the culprit had grown old and died !

[Stephen]

I actually saw plod on the beat in Maldon high street yesterday. Well I say on the beat, he was probably just on a coffee and bun errand and thought he'd better dress up for the part.

[towny44]

Are you sure it wasn't a Strippagram?

[Stephen]

Not the size he was. Fitness level of a beer barrel

[qbman1]

They need 'em big round there to hold down the lassies after a night on the beer

[Stephen]

Wouldn't know, I don't venture over to the dark side. But your probably right

[Mervyn and Trish]

Are they bigger than the bunnies?

[Stephen]

Bunny catcher not on duty today?

[Mervyn and Trish]

Notable by his absence. Maybe Thumper kidnapped him

[Stephen]

Probably checking security in preparation for his impending jaunt on the P&O bath tub.

Bunny catcher not on duty today?

Meeting this morning now I am trying to finish up here. Tomorrow off then on to further deplete the stocks on Adonia on Friday

[Stephen]

Shouldn't take long.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Won't be much left when David disembarks

[Stephen]

If any. But I thought he got chucked off three stop back.

[Mervyn and Trish]

He was still trying to repair the webcam

[Manoverboard]

Had a superb lunch at the Riverside in West Bay ... just saying

[Stephen]

Cod and chips twice

[Mervyn and Trish]

And mushy peas?

[Stephen]

Oh yes, don't forget the mushy peas

[Ranchi]

So what is the standard fish served in a fish & chip meal served in chip shops around the country...& what is it called?

In Newcastle it would be cod & fish & chips would be called 'a paper'.
In Aberdeen haddock would be the fish & fishb& chips would be ordered as a 'fish supper'.

[Stephen]

Can't answer that Ranchi on the grounds I would be on topic

Oh s*d it.

Cod around here. Cod and chips. That's it.

Mind you, it's not a cheap meal any more. Takeaway cod and chips for two will set you back over £10.

[Mervyn and Trish]

Should move here Stephen.

Our favourite is "Mini Order"

Small fish chips and peas, but more than enough for us. £2.70 each

And the fish is ..... well fish. Cod-ish but probably depends on Market Prices that day. But always excellent

[towny44]

Cod or Haddock dependant on the chip shop, or maybe even a choice, but "bits" in Yorkshire are the bits of batter that fall off the fish as they are frying, which you can ask for as a "free" extra, and you don't get many of those in Yorkshire.
