    Yes. I remember the sadness when it went the way of all flesh.

    I remember English's being slightly shabby/genteel, which had its own charm. I imagine it's smartened itself up and serves foreign muck these days?

    No, nothing has changed. In fact, it struck me that English's is probably the closest connection I have to my childhood, for absolutely everything about it is identical to the place I used to be taken by my parents when I was a nipper. Everything else from that time has changed or gone completely.

    Oh, she loves chips and gravy, but rejects the notion of it with fish.

    I love mushy peas. It's best with a saveloy and a battered sausage, though. You slather absolutely fúcking everything with ketchup, salt and vinegar, tip the mushy peas over it and then dig into the delicious mess. Food of the gods.

    Funny thing, one battered sausage and one saveloy is perfect, while two of either would be too much.

    As your learned friend said, Odettes is the only place in the area worth dining at. Everything further North is full of ****ing Americans.

    Really? How wonderful. If I ever visit Brighton again (although I can't really see why I would) I shall go there.

    I would point out that the gravy was only used to anoint the chips; it went nowhere near the fish, naturally.

    Imagine putting gravy on a turbot. I feel ill now.

    I have seen people serving fish with chicken sauce. This strikes me as abominable.
