I had a child's portion of fish n chips yesterday.
Well - I tried to. I'd already stopped the lady serving when she wanted to load the plate with chips.
Then I picked the fish out of the batter and gave up.

She said, "Are you alright love? You went right pale there! I can give you a drink if you want, you didn't have half your dinner."
I think she thought I was diabetic or something.

Still, made me smile afterwards. Me? Pale? With my jaundice?
She may as well have said I looked like I was wasting away (the steroids are playing havoc with my body image)

So it was a silly luxury, but I'm glad I tried.
Having a sit down fish and chips meal was always a massive luxury as a child. We barely even had them as take-aways, so to sit in the back room with real plates and white bread and butter and warm cola was like winning the pools.
