Who's getting hungry, reading this? I'm close to going downstairs for a snack. Shame it's too late to go out for chips 
Yep, same down here in the west. "Single fish" doesn't mean one piece of fish; it means just fish without the chips!
Thought you were a westie? Salt 'n' sauce?
. Nooooo; salt and vinegar is what goes on chips!

Family are and I've spent plenty time living there but I was raised in Edinburgh so have fond memories of freezing my baws off at the football followed by a fish supper with salt and sauce.

Dreaming of chips, curry and rice courtesy of The Lobster Pot opposite Liverpool Central Station.

Chips can go with:
salt and vinegar
gravy
mayo
salad cream
brown sauce
ketchup
curry sauce
(but not all at once)

I think you will find it's Chinese curry on fried rice. Although some chippies put gravy in their curry mix.In Manchester you have gravy on your Chinese fried rice

It used to be what is now lunchtime, and teatime is now dinner time (but still occasionally 'tea' at our house).
Elevenses, high tea and supper can go and do one.

Some time before 12 noon and 2pm.
About four hours before I'm due for my tea (but, these days, about six hours before I actually have it).
Chippies cease to exist somewhere around the South Wirral / Cheshire area.
Anything south of that neck of the woods is a poor imitation and should be prosecuted under the trades description act.....apart from a couple of nice ones in north Wales.....but that's only coz scousers on their toes from the bizzies moved there.

Brought up in Lancashire (now Merseyside), I used to walk home at 12:30 to find my mum had my dinner on the table waiting, then walk back for the afternoon lessons. After school, it was time for tea at about 5pm and supper was cheese and crackers just before bed.
When we moved down south, had to wait until after 7pm for dinner and the best meal of the day.

Grew up in Manchester but lived in Edinburgh for 4 years so also love chips and gravy as well as the old 'salt n sauce'. Must say that Edinburgh chippies were the only place where I've seen them fry pizzas!
