Was it me on the wrong?

[neonfrog]

On a day trip last week my DH and I decided to have fish & chips for lunch. I asked for 2 fish & chips please. We had to wait a while for the chips to cook so stood away from the counter until the server called out that our order was ready. When we found a nice place to sit we opened the bag which contained 1 box, that box contained 2 fish and chips, which yes I did ask for but surely it would normally be understood that when I ask for 2 fish & chips I mean 1 fish and 1 portion of chips x 2.

Am I wrong?

We didn't go back and complain, in fact it turned out for the better as i couldn't of eaten any more. Would of been nice to of had my own box though. Thank goodness we weren't in a group, can you imagine what I'd of got had I asked for 7 fish and chips!

Cod £3.20p, chips £1.40p or fish dinner £5.20p

I'm another one who ended up with fish and chips tonight. I blame the OP and I feel so full I could burst but I did eat a whole portion of chips, a lovely piece of cod and some bread and butter.

Lovelilies that's why I looked at their menu. This thread made me want it. But for £36 I thought fuck that (yes £3 for mushy fucking peas.) wouldn't be as bad if up north then I could have scraps. For that price I want scraps.

Where I'm from if you want a portion of fish and chips you ask for a "cod lot". Sausage and chips are a "sausage lot" and so on.

All you people asking for generic "fish suppers" and whatnot....what fish to you get/expect to get/want?

Haddock. It's the standard fish for fish suppers in Scotland.

Yes, it's always Haddock up here. I've tried Cod in England but found it was watery and lacked flavour.

yes £3 for mushy fucking peas

What do the buggers charge for a pickled onion?!

We use the term "lot" here in the NE, too, Toasty
