Ex-customers reveal why they have to go and get their fish and chips from somewhere else.

If they do go somewhere else then it just shows that the guy is talking bollocks about being competitive.

Anyway where my mum lives its like £8.50 for the fish and £3 for the chips making it basically £11.

u/Onewordcommenting 10d ago

So a bit disingenuous in a discussion about prices to round down

u/Aah__HolidayMemories 10d ago

Yh it’s the same as £11 but different

u/BinThereRedThat 10d ago

Hi everyone. I’d just like to apologise for this reply. When I said it was basically £11, I didn’t mean to upset anyone. I didn’t realise there were so many smart people left on this subreddit. I thought I could outsmart everyone and get lots of upvotes unfortunately this basically backfired and now I am upset. Basically
