Nice one AmChaff. 
When I first moved to Wolvo, (nearly) all the chippies had been taken over by Greasy Greeks, and whatever they cooked fish and chips in you could taste it for days after. Veg oil of some description? Might as well have been 20W50 Engine Oil. Try to get a fish or a chip butty down here? Nearest you could get was a pita. They still don't really do baps/tea cakes/barms (wherever you are from) or even normal sliced bread in the chippies round here.
Thankfully the Greeks have mostly gone on to other things (back in Greece seemingly, not many plate smashing partys on a Friday night anymore either) and most chippy owners now cook 'em in the proper stuff. Though there's a few do battered chips. Why? The fish is already battered, but at least they aren't Mars Bars, and some cook chips a funny colour too. I believe that last fad started in West Brom. 'Nuff sed.
About 90% of the country's pork scratchings are made in the Black Country. It's no wonder you can't get a dentists appointment down here. Best things ever for breaking teeth and cracking fillings.
There was another Yorksha League fixture on Tuesday when Sadfud beat The Millers 1-0.
