Indeed Andy. My family history is all about fish & chips, grandparents ran successful fish & chips shops in Grimsby, my Grandad was a fish merchant on Grimsby docks for 60 years, my parents ran a fish & chip shop from the early 70's until the mid 80's, all fish fresh from my Grandad on the docks, all potatoes washed and cut by hand (although we did have a potato peeler). The biggest problem my parents faced was the size of the queues outside their shop, I recall them trying alternatives ways to get through the customers quicker, like installing a little booth where you'd pay as you left the shop to avoid delays at the counter !. It was hard work though and my parents got out at the right time, they sold the shop when plans to build a bypass around the village became reality, and whilst the shop is still there (latterly as a chinese restaurant) it has never done anything like the same trade. So I suppose if I ever give up town planning I can go back to the family business...although ironically enough I stopped eating fish when I was 10 so maybe not !. |
