My local chippy has already increased the price of fish and chips by £2.50 about 4 months ago, so it’s trade has dropped right off already. I think another big rise in prices would close it down.
I went to the chippy the other day because I said to my partner “I don’t want to order from a takeaway, they cost too much.
I got two kebabs and a nugget meal for my lad…. Cost me nearly £22. Shan’t be doing that again.
One portion of fish and chips at Jack the Chipper in Greenwich cost me £14.90. It was pretty measly too.
Never been a fan of a beige and zero nutrition “chippy tea”. Perhaps for the best they close?
Grandma, what was it like to not live in unprecedented times?
Well Timmy, there was fish and chips, AND we used to have them in newspaper, before the pesky EU told us we can’t. That’s why I voted to leave in the referendum. For your future Timmy.
Thank you grandma. But what’s fish and chips?
You know Timmy, what we eat when we go to the seaside. Stop being silly now.
But the sewage stopped people going to the seaside grandma.
No Timmy, it was the energy crisis and the drought that stopped people going to the seaside – because no one could afford fish and chips anymore.
Ok grandma. When will the times not be unprecedented? I want to charge my switch.
They say in 50 years things will start to turn around Timmy, sunlit uplands for one and all! And it’s worth it because we can all drink sovereign-tea Timmy. Just remember not to use the electric kettle.
We love a chippy tea but it’s just too expensive. We don’t have takeaways at all because of the cost. I make fake away meals instead.
This is the last straw.
Well, for me cod chips + curry sauce cost me £12.10 on Friday, was good/nice so can’t complain but it’s certainly not the cheap meal I’d just walk in and grab anymore I definitely need to really be fancying fish & chips to justify it.
It’s cool, I only eat spaghetti
Always thought chippys were madly overpriced as it was tbh
They’re already too expensive for what they are and my family have already cut down how often we buy one and reduced what we order. We just won’t buy at all if it hikes up any more, and I’m sure we won’t be the only ones. Chippies will lose custom, and unfortunately I can see lots of them closing.
For cods hake, I’ve haddock with this plaice, let’s go.
Sadly chippies up and down the land are on the brink or have already closed. That coupled with the possibility of 70% of pubs going to the wall because of high energy bills we are facing a stark reality, a dystopian future where there is absolutely no joy left in life.
