I remember 2 pennyworth of chips wrapped in a paper cone made from newspaper, and sprinkled with "batter bits" if the chip shop owner liked you.<br /><br />I just had this picture in my mind of you on the cat-walk with a super ball-gown on and munching on a bag of chips as you walked.<br /><br />I really must stop drinking all this rum. . . .
