People don’t even have chips!!Just scraps. The poshest thing was a woman asking what kind of oil they used?? The answer....’Cooking’. Scraps... we used to call them 'fish bits' - basically the crumbs of batter from the shelf. They were free, so we used to get them every night - not that we were poor or owt, but we'd spent all our money on 2 bottles of 20/20 each and gone 2's on 10 embassy.

McRainy Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I don't know why people are equating poshness with chip shops, ignoring my encounters with royalty and the judiciary, but the absolute poshest thing you can get is a Sammy's With Everything from Wellington Street Fish Bar.

I had an experience along the same lines the other week. I was meeting a mate in London. I'd gone down on the train to St Pancras and he was running late from West London where he worked. I said I'd buy a pint in the Betjeman Arms at the station and wait for him. A posh and very well dressed couple came and sat next to me, with a glass of red wine each. They sat in silence for a few minutes, in the way that some couples do when they have absolutely nothing to say to each other. Eventually the man managed to scramble for a topic of conversation - turned to her and said "I think this might be my favourite ever pub". "Oh" she replied. More silence I just can't imagine how few actual pubs this guy must have ever been in for the Betjeman Arms at St Pancras to be considered his favourite. Probably nothing to do with him being posh, but it made me so sad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 My mum and dad arent posh, but some may have thought they were when some years back they had their first foray into going into Mcdonalds. My mum asked if they had a plate and a knife and fork. Although the giveaway they had no idea what they were doing i think was the fact, not having a clue what to order, they ordered a happy meal each.

I once overhead a similarly mismatched couple on an early date. she started talking about recently visiting New Zealand and having had a wonderful spiritual adventure swimming with dolphins. his enthusiastic response was to speculate who would win in a fight between a shark and a dolphin. i nearly pished mesen having to subdue my guffaws.

McRainy Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 My grandparents' generation, and preceding, were all rural working class, farm labourers, lace makers, millers. Both my Gran and her sister 'married well', and in the post war years, aspired to affluence and respectability. I was privately educated and destined for Oxford and greater heights still. Needless to say, I threw it all back in their faces, which is why I find myself discussing chip shops on a Derby County football forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But happy meals do at least come with their own plate, if you tear the top off the box. So maybe they knew exactly what they were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FindernRam Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Was at Burton for the friendly once, a girl next to me wanted to know what the green mess on my chips was. Never heard of Mushy peas. Mind you she was Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
