Scotch chippie

Read today the best fish and chip shop is in Aberdeen, Cant remember where i saw it now , i didnt think fish and chips was a scots meal, thought they was a queer lot, fried marsbars and all that ?

Fish and chip shops have a long tradition up here ever since the "'Tallies" started coming over from Italy. But it seems they originated first in England in the recognisable form we know today...BBC Magazine

Found it, Page 3 yorkshire post, owners of the bay in stonehouses Aberdeenshire won best chippie at the award ceremony in London,

When I was a boy my mum and I were usually on our own on a Saturday night and she would send me on my bike down to Dalkieth for our supper , the last thing she would say was " mind and get it oot the tallies"

What doe's that mean Bill

'Tallies is short for Italians....they used to run most of the chip shops up here.

Queer lot you Scots

Yeah, but clearly a tolerant lot........Scotch chips?

Have we been reported yet as being racist. Or is our reporter selective about who he sees us being racist against

Selective, Bit like the race,

Back home even the Tallies call themselves Tallies, they are very well loved and respected part of our community as are poles asians etc

Etc ? The English...

Nah, we just pay for it all

I can't remember the last time an Englishman bought me a fish supper...

They opened a new one in Dunfermline recently and I got the breaded special fish. Yumtastic! Nearly £7 though for fish and chips.

Little bit of scotch at the end there

I could sit in a restaurant and get a main meal for that price! I mean their overheads aren't high...2 pages of the Daily Express and a bit of wax proof paper. ...you've got me going now, I've seen a lot of places charging for the brown sauce as well! (And that's vinegared down as well).
They'll start charging for those little wooden fork thingys next.

That,s why my Ma told me to go to the Tallies you got better value there,
A ll the Brits in my area bailed out of the fast food game ages ago , now the Crollas, Valvonas, Pias run the whole show
