I was doing my supermarket shopping today and saw this woman in the ASDA café when I was having my coffee, her son was eating the most massive plate of fish and chips that I have ever seen.
Honestly, does she want him to end up obese or something?!

Our big Morrisons cafe also does huge fish and chips. V popular with the pensioners....

This is funny. If Oscar Wilde were alive today, and a woman with too much time on his hands, he'd be writing posts ad funny as this.

Oh, I'm hungry now....

But was it sustainable fish and organic chips, will no one think of the eels?

I despair.

ClaimedByMe · 03/04/2013 17:24

Oh fek I was going to make fish off the van and chips for the dc tea tomorrow is that now not allowed despite folks eating it for millions of years?

MsPepperminCreams · 03/04/2013 17:25

What was the mum eating? If it was just a coffee or a sandwich she was probably sharing the plate? That's something I'd do. misses point of thread

For those offended by fish and chips

thornrose · 03/04/2013 17:28

Was the mum using a wooden stirrer for her coffee?

MrsHoarder · 03/04/2013 17:29

Not offended by F&C. But asparagus would go well with my healthy salmon dinner. If we had some sob

Sparklingbrook · 03/04/2013 17:37

somewhere that vanilla coke is really horrible. Grin

I now have a huge plate of freshly cooked fish and chips for my evening meal.

I am offended that I walk in and I am served immediately and the fish is battered , fresh, in front of me.

Sparklingbrook · 03/04/2013 17:40

Clara how fab. I want some myself after all this. Grin

thornrose · 03/04/2013 17:49

My mum cooked home-made cod and chips today. She wrapped them in newspaper and brought some round for dd earlier.
She didn't bring me any as she didn't think I'd want any Sad
I really want them now, but they have to be from Hadleys in Whitby!

BurningBridges · 03/04/2013 17:58

Wringing my hands here. I don't know what to do now. You see I too went out earlier and nothing happened, I was not offended, no one looked at me. BUT the kids ate a chocolate dessert in front of loads of people whilst I sat nearby and now we all want fish and chips. And I'm fat. Which thread should I be on?

Sparklingbrook · 03/04/2013 18:00

Stop worrying about threads and get down to the chip shop Burning. Wink

YouTheCat · 03/04/2013 18:01

You lot are making me hungry. I suppose I should cook something.

mummytowillow · 03/04/2013 18:06

I'd do a victory dance round the shop if my DD (5) ate fish, she's a nightmare to feed!

Can't see the problem really its not poison Wink
