Chicken or fish?

Secondary modern
chicken

Different names for school types here.

Chicken.

Don't like fish, nasty smelly things with boggly eyes.

I don't like fish either..........food of the devil, a little bit like carrots

It's the boggly eyes that make fish so ace to eat! The bones sticking through your oesophagus can be a pain, though.

Grammar, then it merged with the Secondary Modern after a year and became a comprehensive. My old primary school mates stood at the other end of the playground eyeing me with suspicion. Scarred me for life.

As for fish, I always used to love walking through the fish market in Leeds, though would never have known what to do with any of them. Seafood on the other hand... Always bring a dressed crab back when we go to Brid.

Not too fond of the way they open and close their mouths going "gloop... gloop... gloop..." either. And you can see through some of them too!!! Ugh. To be perfectly honest, they give me the heebeejeebies.

I'm hungry now, but I can't eat fish (or chicken, really, unless it's day-old KFC) at ten o'clock in the morning. This thread is torture.

one hour to dinner around these parts!

just a bit miffed I only got one comment about yeterday's one

And in my experience it's true what they say about battered fish down south. Could never stand the stuff til I came to Leeds. It's all about beef dripping apparently.

On fish? Really?!

So I'm told. Been many a Hindu's undoing.

comprehensive, and neither

and yes there is a repulsive tendency oop north to cook one's chips and one's battered fish in beef dripping, otherwise known as lard. you can always tell the chip shops that use lard rather than veggie oil as the air within 500 yards of the shop is greasy and stinks! and all the assistants have awful skin.

go figure
