Thread: OT: salute to the chip butty
* disclaimer: Curry Sauce and Chips cost 90p (after haggling, I can't believe I'm 30 and still haggling over the price of chips
) on 29th December at my parents local chippy, YCS&HSMV.

English to American English Translation: You got a good price on those French Fries. Whereas you paid 90 cents for chips with curry sauce, my local french fry stand charges 1 dollar and 10 cents for french fries with nothing on them. I am laughing out loud at what thiefs they are. (note: I do not the current exchage rate so I simply exchanged pence for cents and quids for dollars. )

1 GBP = 1.86470 USD
Wow and I thought it was bad when it was 1 GBP= 1.60 USDwhen I was over there in '03. That'd be quite a deal now. If we had the current rate back then, it would have cut into my booze purchases. And I spent a lot on booze.

18/- for chips? Eighteen bob? When I grew up there was a chain of tailors called "Thirty Bob Suits" where you could get a two piece suit for just 30 shillings. (That's £1.50 in decimal...). My first job paid seventeen and ten for a 42 hour week, with time and a half for Saturday afternoons.
You could get a stone of tatties for a couple of bob. I think a bag of chips was about a tanner and a fish supper was a couple of shillings.
Mind you, for a half a guinea you could get a slap up meal for two, with tea!
You try telling that to youngsters these days and they just look at you and go "whatever..."
...andall this was fields!
