It was a harrowing experience; I felt like one those z list ‘celebrities’ in the jungle [...]

I fancied some classic fish ‘n’ chips but my beloved Burdocks (man they give huge chip portions) was miles away in the big smoke. Stuck up a mountain and with no option but my local chipper which serves up manky muck, I had to rustle up something myself. My local Supervalu was doing a deal [...]
