Unexpected chip shop stories

[Hank Scorpio]

Don't know how much of a regular he is like the picture seems like its from the 80s. That said with their mad opening times he could turn up often only to find it closed.

Their opening times are just strange like. I’m amazed they can even bothered with Good Friday

Looks class that ride

He’s got some great tales about it , the rave that’s set up at a disused pub seems to be a highlight, but not for the bloke who’d parked his camper close by and was woke up by hundreds of cyclists and very loud music being played when he wanted to sleep

Also reckons there is something really special about hearing the bagpipes being played from a few miles away .

There was a fight one night, in the one opposite Farra School. Terry Donahue was the owner, and he just kept on serving, when it was pointed out that carnage was taking place, he just replied "The show must go on" and kept serving

Terrence "Trent" Donahue and the burnt offerings
Think it was his mam who used to wear a sock over her arm to stop the splashes of fat burning her when she put the fish in to fry.

f***ing “scraps”

It’s like a year or so ago people on here where adamant sunderland people say “lush”.Last weekend was the first time in my life I’d heard it in sunderland and it was from a young lass who knows no better.

It’s a mag saying always has been.

One of my earliest memories was being with my nana in fulwell in a chippy and her asking fir scraps it was 1975

 

[Jon Dough]

Never heard scraps as a kid in sunderland, always asked for extra batter.

Scraps
Steve Davis is a southerner and even he asks for extra batter when he's in Croziers

Nee the wonder the scrapman comes across as a whelp. He probably gets a clip everytime he asks for scraps.

 

[PhilSAFC]

anyone who asks for "scraps" is a wrong un anyway. Absolutely minging.

 

[Amnorrageordie]

Fish lot please. Tail end or a slice? Tail end. Do you want batter? Aye, loads.

 

[black cat in france]

When Eva Santi's wig come off and nearly ended up in the hot fat.

 

[Curlyteeth]

Eeeeeeee maybe my nana was a southerner the whole time, the cheating hussy. I'm traumatised.

Told the woman off in bells in Durham market place for giving a drunk Andy Reid a couple battered sausages, demanded she changed them to salad

Same fish shop I met Bally, his missus was adamant it wasn’t him but he gave me a little wink so I gave him a hug

Nout worse than people who hound famous footballers etc. Try and be cheeky etc

I think it was Les Dennis who told a story about escaping from some lads who were going to give him a kicking in a Sunderland chippy when he tried out his "geordie" accent on them
