< " Why what do they drink in Lancashire with their fish and chips? All our local chippies have a special champagne cooler for the take-away trade. It's the cheap chardonnay drinkers I find abhorrent." >
I really don't know cos I have hardly every lived there !!
I live now next door in Cheshire and in our chippies we serve...........let me think.......ah yes FISH & Chips ....lol
I have strong Yorkshire connections Dave. My mother was from Barnsley and her sister my Aunt lived in Sheffield and I have spent many happy hours in both.
Used to watch Barnsley versus Sheffield United and Wednesday. Did n't know who to shout for !!
My Aunt live on Middlewood Road in Hillsborough, right opposite the Middlewood Road entrance to Hillsborough Park.
My cousin lived in Wisewood for many years until she emigrated to Glossop.!!!!!!
I am going back a long way but I don't remember any Yorkshire chippies selling any alcohol.....maybe the odd one had ginger beer.
I also spent some time in East Yorkshire with the RAF at Driffield so I know that area quite well too. Beverley was our nearest town and I remember listening to folk music at one or two clubs there but I can't remember what pubs they wewre.....alcoholic amnesia??
Can remember Scarborough and Bridlington did great fish and chips though.
Went back to Beverley a couple of years ago and spent a few nights there. All changed....and not for the better IMHO.
