Those of you, say, 38 years old +
Can you remember in Fish and Chips shops back in 70's /80's a lot of them used to have a laminated poster on the wall of loads of different fish that there were? Dozens of different types/
Even though the Chippy only sold Cod and Haddock. Oh, and maybe plaice.
I used to be mesmerised by that poster as a youngster as I used to queue with my mum/dad to be served and for some bizarre reason i really want to find one to buy.
