We had half of a standard Cod & chips each.
Beats me how anyone could eat a whole portion, let alone a big one!

Must say it was the nicest F&C we've had for a long time.

I would prefer what yall call crisps to scoop up that bitchin guacamole. And I would have a whole plate, not half. And a big slice of Boston cream pie. My fish and chips tonight is a tuna salad sandwich or two and Lays classic potato chips.

Our neighbour goes to a chippy every week. He has a whole small fish while she has a whole large fish to herself.
Plus chips and peas.
I wont use that chippy as they batch cook fish and leave them in that glass warmer thing. I don't do soggy batter, I would rather wait and get fresh crispy batter.

I had a major fight with my Bluetooth headphones this afternoon, I was trying to connect to my desktop and they wouldn't have it, the last time I used them was with the tablet and it turned out they had connected to the tablet when I switched them on and wouldn't connect to anything else, I had to turn off the tablets Bluetooth before they would connect to the desktop.

I hate technology.

As usual the media have gone right over the top with their coverage of the event, I've nothing against the fella but it could have been covered in the news bulletins, or they could have slightly extended the bulletins and that would have been enough.

Seriously 24 hours later and the schedules are still being changed? What's on instead Dave? I'm interested to know.

So far I've managed to avoid all the media coverage bar about ten minutes when I had a brew yesterday afternoon. Looked at the TV guide and four of the five main channels were doing live DoE stuff and the fifth was "A Place in the Sun."

I did think the BBC 1 live reporter was doing a good job. I was a bit gobsmacked to turn to BBC 2 and find the channel had a separate live broadcast. That was ridiculous.

A very sad time for HRH and the immediate family.

I received an email from Waitrose, complete with a black edged photo of Prince Philip in all his Military regalia. The email was to tell me that Waitrose were deeply saddened by his death. 🤔
It’s all getting a bit Princess Di with the press and other media trying to outdo each other.
