I’m same age as yourself but I do recall Betty and Charlie’s chippy on Oldham rd Failsworth using newspaper. Always (placebo) tasted better.

Absolutely nothing But we dont always have to be totally on topic, this message board would be abit too dull if we didnt occasionally go of track on threads. Back on topic I still think we are a number of bodies short (no doubt this is being worked on behind the scenes) hopefully we will hear something soon.

However occasionally we liked to slum it with the commoners and go for a chippy tea. #middleclasslads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
