Fish and chips yeah
Make me want to lick my lips (lip smack)
Eat them for breakfast lunch and tea
Fish and chips are for me.
A chorus of a very cool kids song. We had fish and chips for tea last night .... running late home from town. But instead of buying them from the F and C shop or making my own version - I bought the frozen - good quality crumbed fish and chips and cooked them up when we got home. Still very easy to do and it would have easily been half the price.
Fish and chip night was always Friday night when I was a kid and it was nowhere near every Friday night. It was a real treat though. And it always tasted fabulous.
Now I am sitting here at 5am in the morning waiting for these fish and chips to digest. They are weighing very heavy on my tum tum. Anika thinks their fabulous - she was a little disappointed though we didn't go to the Fish and Chip shop. She has just recently come into an awareness that we don't always do what 'everyone else' does.
She still doesn't know about the the big M and when we go around that particular round about she goes - look there's the doctors. Sadly .. yes those trips she does remember. But better than the ....other. However with the TV advertising she sees of McDonalds I think the connection will be made with lightning speed once .... if we ever.... do go there.
I do really hate the whole kids walking, (and singing an incredibly catchy and annoying song) and we give them a pedometer and we're doing something for kids health. Also ... we are using Fair Trade coffee beans ... which is really cool ... but it's all so constructed to draw you into the branding. I must say though, after a very cool South American flavoured advert about their coffee beans - groovy guitar music - lovely soft tones of green, brown and khaki, to see the red background with the yellow M it almost seems oxymoronic - (if that be a word !)
