Thread: CLAYTONS FISH & CHIPS , the fish 'n chips your not having

I had a similar experience recently. All that was missing was the Dim Sims but it really bugged me because I was really looking forward to it.

No such dramas at the local fish & chipery here.
Looking forward to fish & chip night tomorrow night.

So sometimes face to face or phone customer service aint so flash hey Mario
Should have ordered them over the Net then you would have had proof

When I was a kid Queenscliff was still a proper fishing port.

Fish and chips involved scallops from Port Philip Bay before some state polititian shut that down to get votes, Bass Strait gummy shark (prime flake) done in true tempura batter.

I used to watch George and Andy putting the ice chips in the batter, not bad for a pair of Greeks doing Japanese 30 + years ago. Dunno if they 'invented' this themselves or someone showed them. Lovely people.

The potato cakes and chips were made from Drysdale potatoes. A semi loaded with sacks would unload behind the shop at the start of December.

Nothing like it anywhere any more. Took it for granted, you'd pay a fortune to get the same now.

To get around the trailer trash queue way, way out the door all we did was order over the phone and go straight to pick up and pay at the designated time.

I thought you were camping Chris? you must have good internet coverage in the camper?

The sad thing was those chips from this place were good, not like those frozen chips that everyone uses these days, these tasted like fresh cut jobs and were real thick meaty ones. What a shame.

I know the feeling and it is sometimes too far away to drive back.
I bought some KFC many many years ago in Shepparton, we were traveling and were hungry. So once I got to the car I thought I would have a piece of chicken, we ordered a certain amount and when I opened the box there was only 2 pieces. I went straight back into the store and the staff sort of looked at me "as if to accuse me of eating them in the 15 sec walk to may car" There was no finger licking oil dripping from my lips so it was impossible for me to have scoffed them on the way to my car. Take away seems like you have to open it up in front of them before you leave the store, happened a few times now that we bought something on the way home only to be jooped.

That's no good mate, seems your boss overworked you and now your in down time, which will cost him more. No good for a truckie, he might put you on light duties cleaning the loos.
Hope your on a quick mend.

At least you have Rangie woman with able bodied legs to fetch you the beer from the fridge whilst you recouperate
