Fish and Chips, the iconic meal widely regarded as Britain’s signature dish, is under threat, with up to half of the country’s 10,000 chippies at risk of closure this year. Once upon a time this simple dish was available to all, reasonably priced, and even avoided rationing during World War II. But today, with prices and overheads continuing to increase, the meal is becoming a luxury.

The Guardian · Battered: why half of UK’s fish and chip shops face closure – videoBy Temujin Doran

Be kind and thoughtful to your #dentist, those oral heroes that help you maintain sparkling teeth.

I spent hours making vegetable Massaman Curry for dinner, only to be told by my other half shortly before it was ready that he had the dentist tomorrow morning.

My first thought was not wishing to inflict 6 cloves of garlic on the dentist.

So, into the fridge it went for tomorrow.

Emergency fish and chips ordered instead.

Jill Kennington is a typical 1963 model. She is 5 foot 8 inches, 34-23-35, may look like a waif suffering just the teeniest bit from malnutrition, but give her a zany job, and she’ll do it. She said, “I don’t ask for danger money. I don’t mind doing anything crazy because I know it will produce a marvellous, exciting picture.”

A #chippy in Northern #England sold #FishAndChips at 45p to celebrate the anniversary of their opening in 1972 (the year of my birth) - a large multicultural crowd filled the whole street to take advantage of this offer (fish and chips can be as much as £10-£18 these days) #food #Britain

(45p in 1972 would be worth about £5.25 in 2025)
