Word of advice - just say no to the offer of salt and sauce on your chips - but say it very quickly or you'll get it anyway.....

(Explanation: in UK fish and chip shops you automatically get offered salt and vinegar. In Edinburgh for some bizarre reason you get offered salt and sauce instead, where "sauce"=bizarre mixture of brown sauce and vinegar. You can still ask for salt and vineger (absolutely required on chip shop chips )
