What I am referring to is the snooty attitude of British "Would Be" superior people on a par with Hyacinth Bucket.</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">To
such folks things like fish and chips and black pudding were foods of
the Common People. In Edinburgh we classified such snobs as</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">"Kippers
an' Pianies" or "Fur Coats and Nae Knickers". They were generally women
married to clerical workers who refused to patronise the</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Co-op
stores with good prices as "Working People Went There" but patronised
the more expensive grocers where butter and best butter came from</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">the
same slab. In Edinburgh they resided in Morningside (Morning seid) and
Shandon. Glagow it was Kelvin Grove  (Kailvin Groeve) an dput on faux
accents. eg Pork became Pawrk, margarine was margherine. Standard joke
in mye day was that a Mirage was a Morningside wedding,</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The
English town I referred to was in the Home Counties and the shop
described was the only one I knew of. Can't recall the name but Sir
Malcolm Sargeant was born there.</div><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">It's amusing to note that in Edinburgh one could see respected professionals queuing at the chip shops with everybody else.</div>

doesn't seem so odd to me. With fresh fish coming in daily and dozens of<br>fish and chip shops and restaurants along the river, there's a lot of<br>competition between fryers.<span>Â </span></span></blockquote></div>
