When Grandad Pearson was presented with fish fingers for dinner, he was not impressed. "I never thought I'd ever see them served up in this house!""Now you have," said Annie, rather sternly. "So eat up and stop blethering!"
"To tell you the truth, Annie, I don't know how to start eating 'em," said Grandad.
Jackie stuck in his four penn'orth: "Oh, that's easy - you just pick 'em up and put 'em in your mouth."
Sam was most unhappy: "This is not the way the Lord made fish, lad - that's all I'm saying. I know how to eat fish."Pat had bought the fish fingers because Sandie liked them, but Sam was adamant...
... fresh fish - and indeed fresh food in general - was best. "That's nowt like fresh food, is there, Annie, eh? It's got a kind of life to it."
Annie made a balancing comment - pointing out that the freezer did have its uses. But Sam was not convinced.
