scampi thai style

[Latch]

Especially that one in the square mate by the pier, lovely they are lovely with proper batter, real mushy peas and vinegar to die for, you are blessed with that chippy Latch ]

Latch prints off copy of this recommendation and takes it to the chippy for a packet of scraps

Takes me back Jim, as a small child the then owners of one of the Chippie's in town gave you all the scraps of batter you could eat with your chips if you asked nicely, if you actually found a bit of 'Fish' in amonst them you knew you had hit the jackpot.
5p i think a bag of chips was then, over £4 for fish and chips now, and the fish is still the same size!, go figure.

In Birkenhead you'd take newspapers in and they'd give you scraps, my old fella always wondered what had happened to his Echo, happy days

is right. i can understand the price of fish going through the roof but chips. Starting to charge 1.50 for a portion of fecking chips. Is there a potato famine on?

They were indeed.

cheese is a good one. I await the day that cheese becomes so expensive that they have to put those security tags that they put on bottles on vodka, on them to stop people nicking them.

What is this reversal? Salmon cheap, cheese expensive.

In the future we'll all be drinking cheap champagne and caviar and saving up for a splurge on baked beans and cans of mild.

Chicken was once a luxury food until we realised we could exploit the species more, it will happen to many products. It is as easy to grow most types of mushrooms but look at the price difference

 

[neonleon]

yeah, mushrooms grow free in the fields, so whats with the high price.

reminds me when I lived in Manchester and I'd get a water bill for £400 a quarter.

It only stops raining for 3 days a year in manchester for [Poor language removed] sake.

 

[SuitsBlue]

£400 a quarter? were you running a hotel?

no, a car wash

Leon read all the facts before mouthing off. It is not as though they using the whole ship, it is about 2 containers in a few hundred on the ship so with or without the food the ship would still sail.

The whole business is the same on a carbon level as using a machine but add to that it gives jobs to a couple of hundred people in a third world country, how do you measure that benefit?

Get a life leon and think of the wider picture.

You probably believe that we went into iraq because saddam was a bad ass dictator as well eh? This is the cheapest solution for them, they care not one jot about the labour situation in thailand. If they were arsed in any way about environmental policy they would get them hand peeled in scotland or england. This would provide jobs for english and scottish people and would keep the money circulating here. This would cost more money. So [Poor language removed] that, lets ship them to thailand.

Oh hang on a minute,green campaigners will kick off over this. How can we spin it so gullible people will believe this utter crap is actually good or the same environmentally as our previous methods. Lets use a phrase like carbon neutrality, and explain that the previous machine was bad for the environment.

Its just corporate spin all this bollocks about its no different for the environment. they have hoodwinked you not me. Honestly, do you really think shipping things half way round the world twice, whilst keeping them frozen is carbon neutral or good for the environment.

But I read it and this company told me it was so.

Get a life Robert and think of the wider picture.
