Gareth my old son. Do you have any idea why we love you & your channel 🤔? Simple. Your an honest, open bloke. You've lived what seems an interesting life, got a solid family base. All that and now you put out so many good quality vlogs. And, like the rest of us,you muck up. I'm sure we would all like to have a good wander around the house & grounds, but that's for the future. My wife & I both thought your Haddock and chips looked & sounded fantastic. Being cruel, we both had a bloody good chuckle when you shoveld lava hot mushy peas in😳🔥🌡️🫛. As always when you give the cost, we in London weep😢😥what you pay for the whole meal gets us a tiny bit of cod. To end with a heartfelt thank you for admitting that after the army you needed a hand, someone to help you with your situation. Your a brave, good bloke mate. Take care of yourself and the family. Allan&Family
Gareth, im from Liverpool, I got up early this morning and went to ALs Butty Box on the A590 , then went into Barrow and went the Pie Shop on Bath Street Mcleys bakery and got 2 Pies, Steak pie and Meat and potato ... all absolutely lovely.... went to Walney Island too .. a great day out
Hi Gareth, thanks for taking us out and about. Can't beat the UK when the weather is behaving itself. Your fish tea didn't look bad either. Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland
I love your videos where you drive around Furness and the South Lakes. It reminds me of my youth when I was at Vickerstown Junior School and later Barrow Grammar School. I spent most of the school holidays working with my uncle on his Cartmell's pop round, or out no my bike, or with the scouts. I still recognise most of the area, but my goodness, it has changed. I also like, and have made use of, your food reviews, but please don't stop the travelogue content as well.
Thank you Gareth for sharing such a beautiful part of our country, it really does make a difference. The fish and chips looked amazing, I could do with some of that now! I've never been in the Army but I've heard it can often be tough after, and wish you all the best. Thank you also for the videos, you've been helping me with my own personal woes, the past 30 years it's been one thing after the other, but I'm getting better. Take care and as you say I hope you're spot on.
I remember some doctor on the TV years and years ago - pretty sure he was in Newcastle. Insisted that the reputation of fish&chips as being unhealthy was a nonsense - he knew of no healthier meal - as long as it was cooked properly and eaten in moderation. But he insisted that everything should be deep-fried the old-fashioned way, in lard, not the nasty modern stuff so many chippies used. If only because if the products weren't properly drained before sale, the customers might just accept oily stuff, whereas lard would congeal before the customer got home. Still no idea if he was right. But I've known chippies since who didn't even know enough to give their product that final super-hot last plunge. Hell hath no fury like soggy chips. Touring Scotland some years ago, I didn't like the look of the fish on display in the chippy we stopped by. So I ordered a a pie and chips. The scotch pie looked delicious - right up to the point they cooked it by dropping it in among the chips! The chips weren't too bad, but everything else went into a bin outside. And yes - for those who think it's an urban myth - fried Snickers bars, Mars bars and Cadburys Cream Eggs ARE a thing in Scotland!
I do like the addition of the lemon wedge. Was thinking a few days ago many the fish/chip shops dont include that. The chips look nice and golden. Not over cooked.
I wasn't in the army, etc, but have interacted a lot with people who need some help afterwards. Obviously you've married, got your kids and got a good life going and come over as a good chap, but I hope you did get the help you needed. We all deserve that. x
Lovely little place Ulverston. Birthplace of Stan Laurel. My nephew who was in the Scots Guards says there wasn't enough mental health help for him and other soldiers when they came out of the army and I think he and his friends have had a bit of Ptsd. So that's why he and his two army pals created a mental health podcast on RUclips. Raise awareness of it and have a laugh at the same time.
Thank you so much for taking us out and about! Really enjoyed it and hope we can do the Priory trip and tea shop review soon, with a look at the beach too!...and yes indeed, the fish looked amazing! We're in Surrey and I love seeing new places...thanks again 😊
Fish and chips round my way are so expensive from the chippy. It works out cheaper to get some fish and potatoes from the supermarket. But you can't beat proper fish n chips 😋 I could hear the batter crunch as you took a bite. Heaven 😊
Love the channel, love the reviews and also love the out and about drives to sample different foods......great insight into the beauty and history of our country
When it takes 10 seconds to speak after eating some food you know its got to be good, one day if you're ever down south I'll take you round Dorset's best fish and chip shops, My treat. Love your videos mate
Gaz, so many of our ex-service personnel were discharged and then forgotten. Being a new sub I never knew about your past service. I am held now in awe that you would eat the worst food the UK has to offer (Not this fish supper though). Knowing that military scran is better! Good on ya mate!
What a great video gareth. Shame the priory was closed, you may be able to show us what its like in the future. Loved the fish and chips shop part of the video. Its always a pleasure to watch your reviews of food. Hope your mum and dad are keeping well. I still think your video of your mum making sunday lunch was such a cracking video.
hi Gaz from down south, fish and chips looks great, am still waitng for our new fish shop to open, will keep you updated. new cafe opening in our local tesco which they own, Harris and Hoole are now gone !
Hello Gareth, it was Great to see you tonight in town (Peter from Ulverston), another Great review, living in Ulverston we've been to this Chippy many times, superb, glad you've now sampled its delights. Really enjoy your reviews, keep the good work up. 👍
Lily's chip shop in Blackpool, you can sit in or take-out or have delivered, always get a lemon wedge with it, and because we have it delivered there are also little sachets of salt and vinegar in the bag
Another cracking review Gareth. Ulverston is a bit out of the way for me, living in South Wales, but I do pass through there on the occasional business trip in that area. Priory Plaice looks like a good stop to spend our measly T&S allowance 😋
I hope you appreciate where you live mate. That looks lush. In Ireland we get soggy chips and soggy batter on the greasy fish. For all your Irish subs I know what I’m talking about. I deliver for a chipper. Top video Gaz. 👍
*What a wonderful food vlog and review 👌🙌👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻* Lovely person who served you,yup you walked straight into it lol. But a good walk into it. Fish and chips,oh my goodness- looked so good. You took a big hit the piping hot mushy peas . I realise we very much presume things on face value. We don’t know what struggles people are going through. This is why we all ought to treat others with care and respect. You should be proud of yourself I’m guessing. But,the fight remains.keep fighting and moving forward. Blessings sent
Looks delicious and that is the way to serve takeaway fish and chips,side by side.Most chippys place the fish on top of the chips which can be an absolute disaster, especially if the fish is cooked to order and all the excess fat/oil soaks into the chips making them soggy and greasy 😲. Keep up the good work Gareth 👍.
Your area is lovely( at the moment) and I really like your little road trips. Didn’t matter to me that the place closed and the food looked nice. Maybe in the summer you could go to the beach to show us what it’s like. Lovely man, great channel✌️🏴🩷
Heya, i was searching for chilli con carne like asda vs the other ones and i came across your channel, i'm currently binge watching your videos right now as you're a funny guy, love the jokes, the leaf one made me laugh "i'm turning over a new leaf", i've subscribed to you and can't wait to see more videos from you!
We've got a great country especially up north stunning,and the fish and chips are cracking can't find decent fish and chips down south where I live so I've stopped eating the rubbish down here ,nice one Gareth
I like watching your reviews, saves me buying crap and wasting money. I have just ate icelands 100% fish fillet strips in chip shop curry batter. Lovely 😋 ex Guardsman myself and keeps me amused 😂
Always enjoy these drive around maybe you can visit this building another time and take us around inside and outside look forward to that in the meantime just keep your videos coming
Fish and chips looked lovely, you've given me a hankering for fish n chips now and its only just past 6 in the morning here 😂 It's a pity you couldn't take us for a look-see around that beautiful old building today, maybe another time. Thanks for sharing 👍
Loved this & wished we could have had a mooch about the meditation centre- another time …Friday is always chippy day, thank you for sharing and have a brilliant weekend x😊
It is a tadge expensive, but if its good its worth it, I went to a chippy here in Glasgow reviewed last week by some Asia Glaswegian who said it was good with fresh fish, i got a tasteless piece of fish, which was frozen then battered, and it was greasy and horrible, so i will ditch his reviews from now on.
That looks first class fish & chips. Not menny chip shops do good quality fish and chips a lot don't change the frying oil when they should just gives me indigestion. Thanks for sharing 👍
Gareth please do give us a walk around the Priory in a later video. It will be lovely to see just what is there. Like others, I was quite amused when you went into shock when trying the mushy peas. Other YTers would have edited this out, and let them cool before recording your 'second taste' and pretended it was your first. Honest as ever. Great video. Am looking forward to having Fish and chips by the sea when on holiday in a few weeks time.
My local chippy - happily - closed down last year. I say happily not because they were bad, but because they were excellent! So excellent I continued to use them, just once a week, despite my doctor's constant warnings. So I suppose their closure may well have given me another year of life, given I'm so ancient I can't drive any more. Except, as I don't get out much, my son just recently frogmarched me to his car ("come on you sad old bugger, we're going out!") and drove me to a sit-down chippy about 30 miles away. OMG!!! If great fish and chips (and mushy peas - I'm not an amateur) are forever a pleasure, then imagine how they taste when you haven't had them in a year? I even had some cod roe - and it's been decades since I saw that in a chippy. And, of course, a double grouse in the pub just doors away. I wouldn't have changed places with King Charlie! I had some supermarket battered fish and frozen chips in the freezer. I've given them to the food bank in despair - just can't bear the thought. As for my son, he's been told he may have started something he can't finish. All terribly dangerous in my state of health, according to my doctor. But if old age has taught me nothing else, it's that there HAS to be more to life than simply not being dead yet. I have only one fear left in my life - that I might end up under the front wheels of a bus thinking, "Oh ffs! I should have HAD that pork pie !"
What an absolutely beautiful little part of our country you showed us Gaz, I think that sometimes folk forget just how beautiful our country is (especially in late spring / early summer) thank you for that😆 . P.S you did a great promo for the chippie too...I'm assuming that the edible contents of this video were "free and gratis"😆
I live in Kent, the so called Garden of England, more like the dumping ground now. Ive been up north, through the peak district, up along the A66 and its a stunning part of the country, seriously thinking about moving up there, been a lorry driver it wont be too hard for me to relocate.
We do have some lovely areas, I have been out having short caravan holidays and visiting the Lakes, Northumberland and Scotland, I have stopped using the A74m and M74 I use the old a74, think its now b7076/78 and the coastal roads in Northumberland and we know what the Lake roads are like. The times I pull over and get out to admire the views. Who needs a foreign holiday when you have the UK, and our lovely cafes and chippies
@@Glenn7719 Born and raised in Essex, but spent many years working in both Yorkshire and Lancashire - Such a beautiful part of the Country, and the folks up there are "spot on" - Salt of the earth, and overall friendlier than in the South, in my personal experience. And the food is great! Thinking of retiring there myself...
Well done Gareth, seriously well done, that is a lovely village and a nice little fish/chip shop, seems like you made a new friend.. what a great review. ❤
My RUclips channel was filming in York, did my vidios,then camara away,had couple pints,then went drakes fish and chip shop,got massive fish,and triple chips family sized package,was fantastic, but realised after ,had my RUclips logo and name t-shirt on,must have that was a food reviewer ,so ten out of ten drakes,York,thanks Gareth, its great to still find ,proper cooked fish and chips
We too went to Lakes/Keswick today. Called in Y at Johns Plaice twixt Wigtown/ Carlisle. Was supposed to visit the Ulverston Buddhist Centre at Uni but didn’t feel lead so got marked down some.
It looks beautiful around there. Would be lovely to see some videos around the beach areas as I love watching the water as it’s very calming although I appreciate that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
It's grim when you decide to do something and fully committed to the task and find out its closed. At least it wasn't too far of a journey and could've been worse 😂 I'm off the chips atm but love a large Cod and peas or curry sauce poured over the top 😋 Great content as usual mate 😉👍
Loved it, great review it looked really nice and thoroughly enjoyed the trip out, shame the house was closed you will have to do it at a later date. Thanks Gaz, good one.👍😊
That looked lovely fish and chips mate. Look forward to seeing the retreat if you ever go back, could have done with it a couple of times over the years too 👍
We had a chippy last night and I got a fish supper,you get 2 good sized haddock with chips for under £9 and it was delicious,another great review Gareth
Gareth, I agree with other posts on here mate, you always come across as a genuine Human being so never worry about what others might say on here, you served your country and you obviously have a sound family unit so be proud of that… I envy you living in what looks like a beautiful part of England, take care mate and a great review.. 👍🏻🏴
Now those chips are exactly like they should be, lovely and fresh! So many of our oriental friends seem to cook them and then cook them again (the dreaded basket lowered into the fat and they are dry and tasteless).
Great day for the weather and fish and chips. I was up at my dads had a drive to Carlisle nice bakery I tried near the Citadel pies are brill. M6 was a nightmare coming back. Had to come off at Lancaster South for dads escaped it all...
Pity that the priory was closed - I would have liked to have seen the old building and the walk down to the beach to work up a visual appetite for the fish 'n' chips. I'm stuck in gloomy London in a basement getting ready to leave work.
Lovely drive. Looks like you’re having good weather unlike here-lots of rain. Building looking beautiful-next time Gareth. Nice dinky fish shop .Cor! Haddock & chips. Great price. Almost £16 down here in North Devon. Could hear the crispness of the batter & your eyes as usual said it all, plus the big Mhhhhh’s. Hope u didn’t get a burnt mouth from the peas…….xx
Yeah, it's the NKT Spring/Summer Festival. Been many times. Om Ha Hum. Spoilt for choice with Chippies. Bardsea was our local pub ;) Shhhhh! Just being there Gareth...You were blessed with a good day... Ask me how I know! The end story touched me. Was in the same place. They don't bite! ;)
That looked cracking Gaz, I could eat that right now but we’ve got tea sorted, plus it’s a bit of a drive from here too 😂 My mate told me the other day he saw a load of Buddhist monks in a mini bus on the M6. I wonder if they were heading to that priory ? Show us another day perhaps ? Cheers Gaz 👍🏼🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great Review, Looks Super Fish & Chips. I keep a Tray and a Plastic Box with Sachet's of Ketchup, Vinegar, and salt that i get extra with some meals in the car. Here in the west of Ireland all plastic forks straws and styrofoam cartons and cups are banned from today.
Ketchup?; is the worst Tomato sauce on the market, it's the most popular because vast majority of people in the west are utterly ignorant and have atrocious taste in food. The most tastiest Tomato sauces are made by Mexicans, Greeks, Spanish, and Southern-Italians.

Hi Gareth, thanks for taking us out and about. Can't beat the UK when the weather is behaving itself.
Your fish tea didn't look bad either.
Keep up the spot on work. Best wishes from Scotland

I love your videos where you drive around Furness and the South Lakes. It reminds me of my youth when I was at Vickerstown Junior School and later Barrow Grammar School. I spent most of the school holidays working with my uncle on his Cartmell's pop round, or out no my bike, or with the scouts. I still recognise most of the area, but my goodness, it has changed.

You've made so many people want fish and chips now - they looked absolutely amazing!
Poor fish!!!
Haha, ive not long got back from the chippy after buying cod and chips. First time ive had it in ages. So yep, only one person to blame for that. 😄
Gareth bit of advice don’t shoot yourself in the foot! It hurts 👌
I remember some doctor on the TV years and years ago - pretty sure he was in Newcastle. Insisted that the reputation of fish&chips as being unhealthy was a nonsense - he knew of no healthier meal - as long as it was cooked properly and eaten in moderation.
But he insisted that everything should be deep-fried the old-fashioned way, in lard, not the nasty modern stuff so many chippies used.

The scotch pie looked delicious - right up to the point they cooked it by dropping it in among the chips! The chips weren't too bad, but everything else went into a bin outside.
And yes - for those who think it's an urban myth - fried Snickers bars, Mars bars and Cadburys Cream Eggs ARE a thing in Scotland!
I do like the addition of the lemon wedge. Was thinking a few days ago many the fish/chip shops dont include that. The chips look nice and golden. Not over cooked.
I wasn't in the army, etc, but have interacted a lot with people who need some help afterwards. Obviously you've married, got your kids and got a good life going and come over as a good chap, but I hope you did get the help you needed. We all deserve that. x
Kind and thoughtful words, means alot.
After many years of leaving the Army. I'm getting help from Combat stress to rebuild my life Gaz your a inspiration mate Or should I say Spot on

Really enjoy your reviews, keep the good work up. 👍
Thank you
I was glad to hear that the fish was freshly cooked. So many fish shop sell pre cooked fish which is soggy and warm rather than hot.
But that’s just the thing I don’t think they will freshly cooked fish and chips for everyone because that would take too long
@@JohnTustin-pe8lj My local chippy does. It's only a five minute wait.

"I went in and there was no-one else in there".. At £1.40 for 330ml of Coke and £3.20 for a regular chips I'm not surprised!
£8-£13 for fish and £4.20 for small chips here. South Gloucestershire.
It is a tadge expensive, but if its good its worth it, I went to a chippy here in Glasgow reviewed last week by some Asia Glaswegian who said it was good with fresh fish, i got a tasteless piece of fish, which was frozen then battered, and it was greasy and horrible, so i will ditch his reviews from now on.

Like others, I was quite amused when you went into shock when trying the mushy peas. Other YTers would have edited this out, and let them cool before recording your 'second taste' and pretended it was your first. Honest as ever.
Great video. Am looking forward to having Fish and chips by the sea when on holiday in a few weeks time.
My local chippy - happily - closed down last year. I say happily not because they were bad, but because they were excellent!
So excellent I continued to use them, just once a week, despite my doctor's constant warnings. So I suppose their closure may well have given me another year of life, given I'm so ancient I can't drive any more.
Except, as I don't get out much, my son just recently frogmarched me to his car ("come on you sad old bugger, we're going out!") and drove me to a sit-down chippy about 30 miles away.
OMG!!! If great fish and chips (and mushy peas - I'm not an amateur) are forever a pleasure, then imagine how they taste when you haven't had them in a year?

All terribly dangerous in my state of health, according to my doctor. But if old age has taught me nothing else, it's that there HAS to be more to life than simply not being dead yet.
I have only one fear left in my life - that I might end up under the front wheels of a bus thinking, "Oh ffs! I should have HAD that pork pie !"
£13.20 for a fish supper with one piece of haddock, a drink and some peas is way too expensive as a take-away. You got robbed.

@@Glenn7719We have gravy as well, it runs through our veins 😂
We do have some lovely areas, I have been out having short caravan holidays and visiting the Lakes, Northumberland and Scotland, I have stopped using the A74m and M74 I use the old a74, think its now b7076/78 and the coastal roads in Northumberland and we know what the Lake roads are like. The times I pull over and get out to admire the views. Who needs a foreign holiday when you have the UK, and our lovely cafes and chippies
@@Glenn7719 Born and raised in Essex, but spent many years working in both Yorkshire and Lancashire - Such a beautiful part of the Country, and the folks up there are "spot on" - Salt of the earth, and overall friendlier than in the South, in my personal experience. And the food is great! Thinking of retiring there myself...
Thanks Gareth Great video - the hot peas gave me a laugh! Good to know you felt you had someone to talk to when you needed it.
Glad you enjoyed it
Not a fish and chip lover, but watching you and that fish set my mouth watering! Looked lovely.
Glad you enjoyed
Love seeing your local area...that looked a gorgeous fish supper!
Great review Gaz they did look very nice and a great road trip 👍👍
Cheers Peter

Bloody hell the worzel gummidge quote took me back!
Haha 👍
That looks lovely. We get our fish and chips from kingfish in Farnham Surrey always amazing. The biggest fish you've ever seen and giant pea fritters
We too went to Lakes/Keswick today. Called in Y at Johns Plaice twixt Wigtown/ Carlisle. Was supposed to visit the Ulverston Buddhist Centre at Uni but didn’t feel lead so got marked down some.
Great video Gaz, the weather is very good, you enjoyed that fish😀, looks lovely.
Thanks 👍
Great honest review thanks Gareth 😊
No problem 👍
That looked proper nice fish and chips Gareth. Great review mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Best food review channel by far. Love your videos.
Appreciate that
Really do like to see you out be about and reviewing 😊
Looked very nice and so glad you got someone knowing you are a RUclipsr
Thank you so much!!
Hi gareth hope your good.
Fish and chips can't beat them especially eaten outside.
Enjoy your making me hungry.
Ann in Cumbria. 😊😊😊.
Cheers Ann
It looks beautiful around there. Would be lovely to see some videos around the beach areas as I love watching the water as it’s very calming although I appreciate that this might not be everyone’s cup of tea.
Cheers Gillian yes the sea is lovely
It's grim when you decide to do something and fully committed to the task and find out its closed. At least it wasn't too far of a journey and could've been worse 😂
I'm off the chips atm but love a large Cod and peas or curry sauce poured over the top 😋
Great content as usual mate 😉👍
Cheers
Loved it, great review it looked really nice and thoroughly enjoyed the trip out, shame the house was closed you will have to do it at a later date.
Thanks Gaz, good one.👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it
That looked lovely fish and chips mate. Look forward to seeing the retreat if you ever go back, could have done with it a couple of times over the years too 👍
1982 - Fish, Chips & Peas used to cost 51p + 8p for the can.
We had a chippy last night and I got a fish supper,you get 2 good sized haddock with chips for under £9 and it was delicious,another great review Gareth
Gareth, I agree with other posts on here mate, you always come across as a genuine Human being so never worry about what others might say on here, you served your country and you obviously have a sound family unit so be proud of that… I envy you living in what looks like a beautiful part of England, take care mate and a great review.. 👍🏻🏴
Than you 😊
I look forward to the tour, when you go back there
Hi mate - that looked the business! Lovely sunny day, by the coast…..what more could you ask for! 😋😋😋
Absolutely 😊
I wish other shops would have boxes with a separate compartment for chips instead of covering them with the fish.
Now those chips are exactly like they should be, lovely and fresh! So many of our oriental friends seem to cook them and then cook them again (the dreaded basket lowered into the fat and they are dry and tasteless).
Great day for the weather and fish and chips. I was up at my dads had a drive to Carlisle nice bakery I tried near the Citadel pies are brill. M6 was a nightmare coming back. Had to come off at Lancaster South for dads escaped it all...
Very nice looking feed there, wishing I wasn't in the antipodes this morning !.
Cor, Gareth, that batter looks like it's proper😁 Thin and crispy, not thick and gungy🤢 Those chips look spot on too, yum yum😋
Pity that the priory was closed - I would have liked to have seen the old building and the walk down to the beach to work up a visual appetite for the fish 'n' chips. I'm stuck in gloomy London in a basement getting ready to leave work.
Yes another time mate
Listening to your masticating on the dog walk. Sounds good.😂
They look absolutely beautiful I am now a Member of the Channel 😊
Thanks pal 👍
You can’t beat good old sea side fish and chips, nice one.
I always laugh when you’re eating something that’s good & you do the ‘mmmmm’s’ true sign of a foodie 👍
I love yer drive abouts, 🤣 its fun to take a trip around where you live……
Cheers Jude
The uk is fantastic ain't it gazza proud of my heritage and country let's make great Britain great again❤
Absolutely
Most genuine lovely family man on here can just tell youve a heart of gold keep them coming mukka me and the misses and kids ❤ u salt of the earth
There are times here on Rhodes watching you tuck in, I could cry. I will carry on tormenting myself. Keep up the good work. 🤤
Cheers mate
Lovely drive. Looks like you’re having good weather unlike here-lots of rain.
Building looking beautiful-next time Gareth.
Nice dinky fish shop .Cor! Haddock & chips. Great price. Almost £16 down here in North Devon. Could hear the crispness of the batter & your eyes as usual said it all, plus the big Mhhhhh’s. Hope u didn’t get a burnt mouth from the peas…….xx
Thanks 👍
Great video mate, I'm on holiday nearby later this year so I'll give both a visit, subscribed 👍
Cheers Mark
Nice ride out 👍.. food looks awesome 👍
Thanks 👍
Yeah, it's the NKT Spring/Summer Festival. Been many times. Om Ha Hum. Spoilt for choice with Chippies. Bardsea was our local pub ;) Shhhhh! Just being there Gareth...You were blessed with a good day... Ask me how I know!
The end story touched me. Was in the same place. They don't bite! ;)
That looked cracking Gaz, I could eat that right now but we’ve got tea sorted, plus it’s a bit of a drive from here too 😂
My mate told me the other day he saw a load of Buddhist monks in a mini bus on the M6. I wonder if they were heading to that priory ? Show us another day perhaps ?
Cheers Gaz 👍🏼🇬🇧🇬🇧
Cheers Dan
Great Review, Looks Super Fish & Chips. I keep a Tray and a Plastic Box with Sachet's of Ketchup, Vinegar, and salt that i get extra with some meals in the car. Here in the west of Ireland all plastic forks straws and styrofoam cartons and cups are banned from today.
That's good news on the banning mate
Ketchup?; is the worst Tomato sauce on the market, it's the most popular because vast majority of people in the west are utterly ignorant and have atrocious taste in food. The most tastiest Tomato sauces are made by Mexicans, Greeks, Spanish, and Southern-Italians.
Yes, enjoyed the travel as well as the food. So more please,
STG 10.20 = AUD 19.50 Another great vid, thanks Gareth
Cheers
I love your mmmmm’s they always make me chuckle 😊
steady on lad, you will be getting famous!! not a bad thing😄😄
I may pop out to local chippy for fish and chips, comes in at under £10
