I spent a month in Ohio one week and was bemoaning how few home comforts I'd taken, Marmite, Tea Bags, etc,.) so as a special treat my host decided to take me to a "[b]Genuine English Fish and Chip Shop[/b]". We sat at a table (which surprised me for a start - 'cos in the UK fish and chips are usually a take-out meal) but to my surprise when the waitress came she spoke with the same regional accent that I do.
When the meal arrived I don't mind admitting I was disappointed. The chips were all wrong, and the fish was a miserable looking pre-processed triangle with barely any batter. The waitress must have noticed my perplexed state because she looked at me and asked what was wrong.
I looked her in the eye and all I said was "I'm from England too".
[b]"OMG!"[/b] she says [b]"I'm so sorry!" [/b]and off she fled back to the kitchens never to bee seen again.
For the uninitiated, [b]these[/b] are fish and chips; [b][c=#BF0000]accept no substitutes[/c][/b]! 😁
