I thought I had nothing to say, but then...

I had a little loose change in my pocket today (this is very rare for me), so I decided to go to the local chip shop for a snack to go with my lunch. It appears that there is no end to the culinary delicacies that this country has to offer. The snack that I ordered today raises the bar yet again. I ordered the "chip roll".

Let me describe to you this stupendous gastronomic creation, simple in form yet ingenious in conception. Start with a soft white roll, cut in half and then butter both halves heavily. Next, create a cone out of a couple of large sheets of paper (they don't use newspaper any more). Place the roll in the bottom of the cone and fill with chips (big, fat, greasy, french fries). Then saturate the whole thing with malt vinegar and finish off with a generous shaking of salt. All of this for the low price of £1. Who says London is the most expensive place on earth!!!

I really enjoyed it about an hour ago, but now it is coming back to haunt me a little bit...
