Good chippies lodge in the memory like a good cafe, bar, film or happy event. They stay with you.
One of the many jobs I've had was delivering parcels in Sutton Manor, St Helen's, a stone's throw from the colliery, the year was 1977.
Invariably I had completed all deliveries by 1.00pm and was ready for something to eat. Within the round was a small estate called Four Acre Lane and it had a chippy that must rank as good as George's on Priory Road.
The Fish was tender and flaky and the batter was golden brown and crisp. The chips were chunky and soft and the peas were as mushy as a Mills and Boon novel but had the effect of a Stephen King story on the digestive system. Need I say more.
