The Oldies Thread


Chung Wah on Grange Mount was the best chippie in the whole wide world
Used to like the scallops (mash in batter) at the Chinese near the Silver Blades.

Chung Wah reminded me of a joke (topical given the importance of golf on the Goodison bench these days):

A businessman is vistiting the far east for a high level business meeting and is booked into an exclusive hotel.

Waiting for him is a prostitute supplied as a gift by the company to do what ever he wants with for the evening.

He immediately throws her on the bed and starts making love, they make love all night, however, at the point of climax the girl always shouts "chung wah! chung wah!!chung wah!!!"at the top of her voice...the man is a little confused by this but carries on as she seems to be enjoying herself.

After a night of passion the man sets off for the golf course to meet his clients. On the first tee he hits his driver but hooks the shot far to the left, the ball landing on the 4th green. Suitably embarrassed he heads off after his ball, with his caddie, a local boy.

As they walk his caddie starts laughing at where the ball has landed whilst muttering "chung wah" to himself.

He turns to the caddie in anger and says " what is it with this "chung wah"... what the hell does it mean anyway?"

He replies "....wrong hole, sir"​

I have it on good authority this joke includes an accurate translation.

Good chips though?
 

We had proper gourmet sandwiches at ours. Findus crispy pancake on a folded piece of white with a dash of brown.

I once saw Pie Butties on the menu in a chippy in Bradford.

Two pieces of white bread, heavily buttered, with a pie of your choice slapped in the middle and covered in brown or red sauce.

They also did fish butties, which was the same, except you swapped the pie for a battered fish ;)
