See what you did there Orcs. Very amusing. Perhaps people should convert to used chip fat until there is a proper network of electric charge points.

Mate of mine ran his motor off chip fat from the local fry ups & chippies for many years. Stopped when they regulated it as it became harder work than just buying a new motor and putting petrol in it

Eased the hunger cravings no end

Chips just ain't been the same since no newspaper wrapping! MOAN!

So called 'Social media '.....has too much to answer for.

I'd agree with you .... but I'm too busy watching Twitch streams and TikTok!

Our local chippie does nice chips...They come in a paper bag, rather than a polystyrene tray....They're much nicer than the chips from the kebab shop, which DO come in a polystyrene tray.....Even those aren't too bad, though !

(That's made me hungry.)

Cheers - Phil.

A healthy diet Mr Lewis !

Only fish and chips once a week, Ian  .....and haven't had a kebab for a year or more.
(Even the small kebabs are too much for me...NEVER managed to eat a whole one....they are nice though.)

I'll just stick to my healthy diet of oven ready meals, crisps, twiglets, 'sizzlin'' pringles and onion rings.....Ooooh !! ....... and marmite flavoured cashew nuts....Those ARE YUMMY !!

Cheers - Phil.

Once bought some chips from an otherwise decent shop... and they had MELTED the damn Poly tray!
Other time... a female was looking forward to her chips from 'an Indians'... she took one look... and BIN!

NEVER taken to Kebabs... last went out Taxi window... (Uneaten!)).

My main diet, now, seems to be 'Rustlers' burgers... various types. Not bad... they seem to have improved! And Microwave Chips.. which are ok.. but leave in for a bit longer than stated.
Otherwise occasional  microwave Curries or Pasta.

FOOD!!! Now 3 years + since last 'real' Sunday Dinner, Full Fry up or Xmas Dinner, Steak and  Mushrooms with Brandy sauce,  Southern Fried Chicken, Skate or Lemon Sole, Tatties 'n Herrin'. Home made Lasagne, 'real' Bacon sandwich or sausage, real 'Mash' with whatever, Mash Turnip, really good broth,. Proper Apple/apple and Blackberry/ Blaeberry/Gooseberry/ Rhubarb/Custard tarts, whips/Custards/Trifles.... all gone,now.

ENJOY WHAT 'SOMEONE' MAKES FOR YOU... while it is there!

Now getting crunchy chips with a serving of mayo. I now know why the sub commander in Dad's Army complained of soggy British chips.

Maybe he was based out of Ijmuiden before his boat sprung a leak.

After a diet of healthy, homemade, vegetarian dishes yesterday, today's diet has cosisted mainly of coffee and Toblerone!

Decent sized chunk of homemade Crecy Plate Pie later to compensate.

I got my bag-for-life many years ago now and remarkably I am still married to her

Tesco fine on petrol, garage slightly up the road completely out.

No rhyme or reason...

Possibly not for much longer if she reads that

Mrs Orcs suggested that rather than having a limit on the amount of fuel you can buy when its in short supply, perhaps they should make a minimum price say £30 to stop all the ar**holes constantly topping up their tank with £5 or £10 of petrol

Bonus, keep the mopeds off the road.

Now there's a man who couldn't give a stuff about the planet. As humanity sinks into oblivion some Union flag waving looney will be blaming it on Covid, Joe Biden or Megan Markle.

The forecourt was busy but I was able to get a full tank today without difficulty.  It would seem the London crisis is already over so now the whole country can slumber again in peace.  Is the next panic turkeys?  We never have them so not an issue for this household.

We don't bother with Christmas turkey either.

With just the two of us, it would be rather excessive.
