The fish and chips was good and cheap, about 11d in old money which is about ?0.045 in the new? They were fried in beef dripping. When I moved to Yorkshire for my apprenticeship they were just as good. Then I moved to London to University and I never found a good F&C shop anywhere near where I lived for the 3 years I was there. Now, living in Oxfordshire, the F&C is very variable. There is a van which visits weekly which has good fish, but he cooks in vegetable oil so the flavour is not there. Some pubs are not too bad but none near what I got as a kid. So when we go to Kirsty?s on Anglesey I am extremely tempted to go to Conwy for lunch every day. cheers, Frank D. > On 14 Dec 2015, at 04:29, Jay Burleson <leica at jayburleson.com> wrote: > > Thanks Frank! > The church wasn't open for us either, and it is hard for us Yanks to tell > chippies apart. ;-) > > Jay > > On 12/13/2015 1:32 AM, Frank Dernie wrote: >> These bring back memories Jay! >> Bodnant Gardens and Conwy are staples of our visits to our daughter?s. >> The church in Conwy with the clock plonked on top of the tower is >> fascinating but I have never been there when it is open.
