"Chips are great in all their varieties, from shit to fancy."

"Yeah, they're like the Martin Freeman of potatoes: loveable, goes with anything, makes you feel good about yourself. The everyman potato."

"Big, fat, vinegar-soaked chippy chips are the best though."

"Why is it so hard to find a decent chippy in London?"

"You know, it's very confusing for Irish people in England because we call a chippy 'the chipper'."

"What about the scraps you get in the chippy?"

"*bits."

"Amazing in a sandwich."

"Ooh yeah, they'd give real texture to a chip buttie."

"Tee hee hee, 'buttie'."

"Bits/scraps mean fish shop chips, which are clearly the finest chips available."

"Deep-fat-fried. None of this oven chip malarkey."

"Oven chips are manky. The end."

"Nans love boiled potatoes."

"They like to have them reliably present on every plate because who'd want a meal without a simple potato?"

"The only thing to do with boiled potatoes is let them cool, slice them up, then fry them. Eat them with a fried egg and beans."

"That's the kind of reason nans like to have a few boiled, just in case."

"I'm a nan at heart."
