Mingulay me lad (or Lass!) - alas and alack, Tony's is no more. Your comment re 'The Lot' and chips brought back many happy memories of early-morning feasts on the way home from gigs with the band (or 'goup' as they were called in the good old days), frozen and stiff from sitting on the floor in the back of a Ford 15cwt van (later a tranny, when they'd been invented!). It was a great meeting-place for group-lads (and lasses) traipsing up and down the A1. Seen some good food-wars there. :-)

It's a 'MacHorribles' or 'Burger-Kingdom' or 'Little Chuff' or summats now, with a feckin' great furniture store and garden centre right next door. Shite!
