pmsl!

Shifty's fine new Fish and Chip Emporium might be open by the 4th Nov. I think he was originally hoping for mid-October but he mentioned its been delayed a bit.
I'm told his food isn't bad

so worth popping just down the road to Lytham if he's up and running (and open on a Sunday?)

I will be flying to USA on 4th Nov for a business trip, so if that is the confirmed date unfortunately not.

Once you get the date confirmed it might be worth adding a link in the N/W meets section as I'm sure some of the other "locals" might want to join you.

VRSPhil · 01-11-2007, 08:16
