I'm so Scottish and only like Haddock and chips

I too love fish and chips
I think in England, Haddock is more commonly served as standard in the North, whereas the South seems to have Cod as the standard.
No idea why this is, but I lived in the North for many years before moving back to London, and got used to having haddock as standard (which I prefer; more and better flavour and texture I feel)

I can't stop laughing.... I am home now and currently looking at reviews for waterproof iems and players and Just come across this review on Amazon for a waterproof player with iems.

"I asked my wife to test that these were actually waterproof by spending 10 minutes under water, but she refused"

Had to share this it tickled me..

OMG it gets better I have just read the last line ......."seems she is more cleverer then she looks! "
Hahahaha wish I had thought of this .

Haddock is the tastier fish and your right it's not really on the menu down south...anyone visiting the UK try fish and chips! ....Forget tea and cricket uggggh.

My wife is American and when her son came to visit I took him to a cricket match at the Oval, he just couldn't get it as he asked why people were clapping for the other team

I do draw the line at a pickled egg though.

Well it seems in just going to have to try my luck with a cheap swimming MP3 off of eBay as there are just not decent ones apart from Sony headband ones which are rubbish.

I have always loved pickled eggs but best with pickled beets so the eggs are pink. I used to make them all the time in Michigan, so not just a british thing (except for having them at bars... I mean pubs...).

Going to open a jar now... but not as good as homemade...a bit too sharp without the beets.

Peas should be Petis Pois, frozen... cooked only til hot.

Uggghhhh I'm shuddering thinking about it.

Thanks I'll check it now ...you would think it would be easy to find a decent waterproof MP3 nowadays with sports being more taken up but proving difficult.
