Right on Bob!!!!!
Who was it (Tony Hancock?) who, many years ago on BBC TV, included 
those very same fish and chips in a television sketch.
It was reported that, immediately after the show, thousands of viewers 
packed the local fish shops, such was the power of suggestion.
The comedian involved was allegedly awarded life membership of the
