Thanks Ruth - but it wasn't Arthur Treacher's; I am pretty sure coz recall that, as well as inappropriate posh logo of bowler & rolled umbrella, had equally unsuitably posh name, like Lord Somebody's English Fish & Chips, or some such: they really had got the class vibes most hilariously wrong — half-deliberately, I suspect, if you follow what I mean — ambivalently posh-attractive & tongue-in-cheek at once: sort of self-guyingly trying·too·hard for the upperclass anglophile image.
