to think it's a bit rank to be walking down the High Street scoffing fish and chips at 10:47am?

Clarsy.

Well. This took a disturbing turn, didn't it?

Can't think what you mean Hectate

I think it is important at this point, to make clear to all readers that I do not have a garlic mayonnaise kebab.

And if I did, I would see my gp.

public eating's a bit gross really. I commute by train and find it fairly revolting that people feel the need to eat smelly food at any time of day. Can't they wait until they get home? [and the sniffing and chewing gum - that's a whole other thread]

I don't like to see people eating in the street, and don't let my dcs do it, but I probably am a snob!

Hmm. I'm fairly sure that my grandmother would've considered the shagging common too, though she never expressly mentioned it. She didn't approve of gambling, so the William Hill's doorway would definitely be frowned on.

I eat and drink in the street, and can recall eating chips walking down the street before 12 pm (BF hourly, try telling my belly it's not lunch time).

I can live with you thinking I was common, those chips were GOOD.

Dammit, now I want chips.

What are people supposed to do if they're out and hungry? Pay for an overpriced sandwich so they can sit down in Starbucks?

The cheaper solutions don't give you a seat.

LessNarkyPuffin - Do you think she would have been ok with Harrods though?

and what about eating fish & chips at the seaside? Thats still outside?

Common or tradition please discuss!!!!!!

Ah. Ice creams in the summer had special exemption. I don't know about fish and chips at the sea side? Possibly allowable within sight of the sea?

i'd like to see that enforced as a law. "Excuse me sir you're not allowed to be eating those here" "but there's the sea I can just see it behind those buldings"

"ahh ok then, on your way"

for privategodfrey because I am actually feeling rather guilty for snapping at you, even though you were forgiving. More so because you were forgiving.

I really want some fish & chips now.

Now now Hecate any more of this kindness towards me and I might have to have another nibble on your kebab

< fans self with greasy chip paper >

promises, promises

get a room you two!!!!! lol

Oh I love eating a burger and chips on the train on the way back from a night out. It's horrible when anyone else does it though. Revolting. Common. Smelly. Antisocial.

I don't like eating while walking but sometimes I can't wait to get from supermarket to home I like the thrill of scoffing down some proscuitto on the way

I love eating in the park during the summer, luckily I get to go down to Hyde park and people have little barbeques and play games. Roll on summer!

Ah you're just jealous cos I've pulled, Dawn

Now if I saw someone walking down the street eating this then I might be tempted to pull on my judgy pants ...

At least the eating on the street means the smell doesn't linger I suppose. Sitting on a train at the start of a 5 hour journey and hearing a rustle behind you followed by the smell of grease as someone opens a bag from Burger King is horrible.

yum yum.

have just finished my bag of chips - I texted DH and asked for chips for lunch because of this thread!

i haven't had chip-shop chips for months

they were lovely. (and from a new chip-shop too!)

(it was 3:10 when they arrived wit hDH, so that's okay, isn't it? and we ate them in the shop, not on the street)

Is it just me whos not too fussed???

Are you sure it was exactly 10:47 ? I think 10:48 would have beenh far more acceptable personally.

Crikey, what is the world coming to when people judge us for what time we eat ! [shocked]
