one of the best fish and chip shops around essex was one on the Moreton road just outside Ongar and that was run by a little chinese lady. It had always been popular and when the owner retired and the present owner bought it there was great consternation but she kept it the same (in fact if anything it got even better) The potatoes were a variety grown specially for the shop by a farmer up the road and the chips were top notch. One of the few shops that you used to see queues outside with people waiting to buy the familly supper
and no staying open till the pubs shut either ..... open from 5 till 8.30 and that was your lot

The first rumours were that is was from the Chinese eating bat soup. So.... yes. And it's probably not the food as such but those Chinese have been back and forth between China and London, bringing in their dried meats, so it's the Chinese themselves people wish to avoid contact with. Oxford University now has a 'case' from abroad but refuse to say exactly where from - probably because the university doesn't want to stop the flow of money from China into their coffers. "reminds me of a certain infamous gentleman who posts incessantly on the Dark Side. Are you his CWDF glove puppet?" - I saw that.
on the subject of the gentlemen from Chinatown - I very much doubt if any of them want to visit the country they managed to escape from years ago.
It's very difficult for them to arrange to get back because there aren't any telephones in China.

I never realised you could travel by phone. How does that work then?

I was rummaging around in the boat today and found this vintage hand gel. Still about a third full. Anyone know how much I could get for it I heard stories.

We are trained to appear incompetent. It's a useful undercover technique.
I like bacon wraps.

I never realised you could travel by phone. How does that work then? arrange /əˈreɪn(d)ʒ/ verborganize or make plans for (a future event). "they hoped to arrange a meeting"
