    I haven't had a takeaway all year. Will be sorely tempted tonight.

    Be prepared to queue for longer than you'd queue at a chipper at 3am on the morning after Stephens Day...

    Getting the impression that this may not be worth it considering the queues and the questionable savings, but have done it other years and may just have a look later

    I've frequently chippers in Swords other years and while there was a long queue, they fairly chucked them out. It's the folks who don't ask for fish & chips that slow it all up.

    whatever your views it is a spectacular PR sucess for them every year and shows how P.T. Barnum was right

    it is a Wednesday, probably a day when Take aways do very little business. Today they will have queues and money coming out their ears!!

    local chipper is usually out of fish by afternoon

    Jaysis, no. Have a fryer all right, but it hasn't left the cupboard in probably four years. I should get rid of it.

    Not a health thing. Well, maybe a bit of a health thing. It's more like a new year resolution, just to see how far through the year I can get.

    It's just a test to see how far I can get. There are plenty of other things that I eat/drink that are unhealthy. I haven't drank any Coca Cola since 2008, but I'm still partial drop the occasional Club Orange or 7up/Sprite. I've cut back on my drinking, but haven't completely stopped. Plate portions have gotten smaller, but they're still too big for what I actually need. I exercise, but not as much as I could/should.

    But enough about me and my strange behaviour. This thread is about fish and chips and, as I mentioned before, my takeaway fasting may come to an end this evening.

    Surely most chipper fish come from the ocean? Did you mean what continent are the spuds caught on?

    I think I got about €4.70 worth, to be honest. Was a bit disappointed with Kingfisher's.
