Comment if you would like too...

I live north of Atlanta (60 miles or so). The current "rage" for local governments is to use tax payer dollars to encourage some sort of nonsense village environment. So, an itty bitty park is built, investors build buildings, activities occur, lots of kum bi ya.. then reality hits in.. and the businesses who invested aren't getting any traffic for their over priced product.

Case in point, allegedly we had a British couple open up a fish and chips restaurant. The fish was actually quite good, but your "chips" are our french fries so even match. Even so, I took my wife to lunch to try the place. For 2 orders of fish and chips came to 34+ pounds. That's $45 for us Mericans. For a fish sandwich and greasy potatoes. The restauarant opened as a novelty in the place they were at and their product. Two weeks ago, they were done.

So, for you Brits - two questions. 1) when you get fish and chips, what's the fish? 2) what do you pay? Fish and chips seem to me to be Britain's version of fast food, but I'm surely wrong.
