I regularly eat all three do I'm well happy :smug:

Second place Jim? That's not very nice now is it, its a famous British tradition. Oh well, when I finally get to the UK, after I get the Fish and Chips, I'm going Bird watching. I hear you have some great looking Birds over there!:03:

Seen far worse down south...deep fried pineapple :o
Pineapple fritter, don't forget the banana fritter too, both lovely but I find some of your chinese chippys do ruin it with syrup.

And of course the batter has to be beer batter and the frying must be done in lard, especially for the twice cooked chips

:yep: Indeed, I've been lucky enough to ride on quite a few of the Steam railways here. Was up north on one during my honeymoon in fact, I'm lucky enough to have a wife who also quite enjoys steam railways. :yep:
Lovely scenery too! :yep:

Was a lovely day out, rained for most of it, but it's Yorkshire so it was to be expected. Gave an insight in to how quickly the water comes up, there was a river near Goathland station that was quite the raging torrent, the noise was competing with the steam engines! :haha:

Cod is, for some reason, the favoured choice throughout the UK, but in my home town - traditionally associated with fishing on a large scale - you're hard pushed to find it as the preferred option in the chippies. Haddock rules.

Sadly, most children these days will think that your talking about Call of Duty.

So most people in the UK play Cliffs of Dover, then?

In London it is Cod....or Eel
