Dad always used lard, which came in large blocks as big as a small coffee table in our chippie in the 50's / 60's. He chopped it up with a massive machete ! 3d and 6d a bag !

Don't think I have had chips done in a chip pan for 30 years? Can you still buy a chip pan? Looking in my freezer it's oven chips only, we have a bag of frozen crinkle cut chips, spicy peri peri fries, hash brown fries & carrot fries & they usually get a dusting of Schwartz paprika & onion classic chip seasoning before serving.

When I were a young apprentice at Clifton Colliery, we had an electrician who went under the name of Chippy" Lee, his missus left him, and one day he put the chip pan on, went and sat down and fell to sleep...Rest is history.

Same happened to one my colleagues at Boulby Mine, he lived on the other side of the square from me, only his wife was out shopping.

I never leave a chip pan unattended, too dangerous.

One of the lads was knocking around on the side with a young woman by the name of Cherry, about the time felt tip pens appeared on the scene and all switchgear U/G was painted white. Everywhere one went there were cherries drawn on switchgear. Fellers wife found out he was getting stuff on the side and threatened to remove his genitals with a carving knife, so he dumped Cherry...LOL

I did some research into the medicinal benefits of Epsom Salts and whilst it can be taken in small doses, there is no credible evidence that consuming it has detoxifying effects. However an Epsom Salt bath may provide pain relief and reduce swelling in people with inflammatory illnesses.

Thought you were going to say they laid scrambled eggs. On the other hand women here during this last heatwave were ovulating hard boiled eggs.
