It's been a while since I had fish and chips from a local chippy, but I was home alone the other night and had a real hankering.
So I pootled off down to the purveyor in a nearby village and ordered a medium cod, small chips, and a battered sausage (because I thought, why not?).
I was a little surprised at the price - £10.50
Has it all gone up in the past few months? I don't recall fish and chips becoming such a luxury item. It just seemed a surprisingly large amount for a simple takeaway - and they weren't large portions. If I'd had a large cod and large chips it would have been over thirteen quid! To feed a family of four, even modestly, you'd be pushing £40 or more.
Or am I hopelessly out of date on prices?
