    Even more new jokes... (No UK Politics please)

    Thinking about it, I would always have referred to it as a fish supper, not a chippy tea. Then again, I'm a bit of a hybrid (bastard?) - Yorkshire mother, Lancashire father, born in Essex, brought up in the midlands.

    Even more new jokes... (No UK Politics please)

    Some people have combined breakfast and lunch, and called it brunch. Could we combine dinner and supper, and call it 'sinner'?
