Gaudete is a medieval Christmas carol sung in latin. This is what I want to hear when I'm out doing my Christmas shopping not Mariah Carey singing All I Want For Christmas, I swear if I hear that song being played once more in Meadowhall I think I will swing for someone.

I misread the group as "Steely Dan." Sorry. Sorry.
Don't worry about it LX, I mispelled Gaudete and put Gautede, I was thinking about Mount Tede in Tenerife.
I Googled "Meadowhall" and I see that it has a Harry Ramsden's.
I've never tried their fish 'n' chips, have you?
p.s. I don't see a pound shop listed there.
Oh Hai, LX!
There a Harry Ramsden chip emporium in Blackpool where I sampled the delights of a chip butty (being a vegetarian I don't eat fish). Carmen had haddock and chips with mushy peas, bread and butter and a pot of tea for two, it was very enjoyable. The Harry Ramsen in Meadowhall is situated downstairs where the hoi-polloi eat (see below), we tend to go upstairs to Zizzi's. I noticed recently in a chip shop in York (not Harry Ramsden's) Canadian/American tourist were NOT putting any salt and vinegar on, that is like eating pasta without the sauce. It's a personal choice but I like to put the vinegar on first so the salt doesn't dissolve.
Yes, it does have a Pound shop MJ and a very busy one too, popular with those medically obese mothers who meet up with other unimaginably dull, medically obese, moronic faced mothers who like to walk side by side with their double buggies, scowling at people who don't move out of their way.
I too put the vinegar on first in hopes that the salt crystals will adhere to it rather than drop to the bottom.
Mistress MJ must take her own vinegar across the border when she travels to the United States as they don't automatically provide it with your order of chips.
Can you believe that I've never eaten mushy peas?
I use pickle onion vinegar on my chips, topping up the jar with malt vinegar when needs be, tastes divine.
It's quite common for folk here (in the north) to eat mushy peas, chips and gravy a bit like your poutine, but using mushy peas instead of curds, go further north to Scotland and they'll deep fry anything, mars bars, cadbury's creme eggs even butter! During the war when people couldn't afford to buy fish they made do with patties (not to be confused with pate)it's simply mashed potato mixed with sage and onion stuffing mix (you can use grated cheese instead) make into rounds the size of a muffin and deep fried in batter until golden, Gorgeous, my mouth is cumming!
