    We own three fish and chip shops. It's the busiest day of the year .........my husband has gone to bed early tonight - he's all excited - he loves the buzz of Good Friday - I'll be at home looking after the grand children.
    It;s a bit of a competition between my husband and son as to who will be the busiest.

    They have lots of different fish in on a Good Friday ...........it's a busy but 'nice' day.

    Sounds like that would be a cool movie or documentary.

    "Good Fry Day"

    I know, I amaze myself sometimes. :D

    No, I got my fish from the fish mongers and frozen chips from iceland.

    You can put the chips in the over or fry them, they taste much better deep fried.

    Or even better I have potatoes I can cut up big and chunky ( proper chips how I like them) and deep fry them.

    Yum.

    This thread is torturing me. I could demolish fish, chips and mushy peas right now. Damn these late night munchies.

    I've never heard of people having fish & chips on a Good Friday :blush:

    Maybe it's not a London thing?

    Probably just me that didn't know :kitty:

    Whaaaaaaaaat?? Where in London do you live? I'm originally from London and the fish and chip shops were queued down the street on Good Friday ..............mind you I'm going back a good few years.

    Do you live in the UK? If so .....where?

    Where on earth in the UK would a Fish and Chip shop close on Good Friday? It's traditionally the busiest day of the year.

    Me neither, or that someone would spell Father with two Rs ;-)

    I like the idea of fish and chips right now though :):p

    Fish and chips? What an absolutely awful idea. Greasy chips and even more greasy fish, smothered in horrible brown sauce!

    Yuch!

    Besides, why should I travel 8 miles to the nearest chip shop anyway? The chips would be stone cold by the time I got them home.

    No thanks, I'll settle for gammon steak, salad, and a couple of small boiled potatoes and stay healthy!

    I don't know anyone who smothers their Fish and Chips in brown sauce, yuck indeed! I usually put Tomato Ketchup on mine or a curry sauce.

    Yes definitely. Orange chips and mixed kebab meat for me.
