Fish................and................chips.

Can you make a statement that contains 5 consecutive ands with it making sense?
The owner of a Fish and Chip shop wanted a new sign over the shop. The signwriter wrote FISH and CHIPS. The owner looked at the resulting sign and said "There's too much space between fish and and and and and chips.

I blame the maths teachers of the world!
People often ask why I taught maths, well....
IT'S THE ONLY SUBJECT THAT COUNTS

NATIONAL RECOGNITION!!!!

A write up in The Guardian (June 30 2009) under the title
HEATWAVE SURVIVAL GUIDE listed 8 "must visit" beach cafes stretching from Cornwall to North Yorkshire.
No surprise that STROLLERS was on this list!
Quintessentially English, you stroll into Babs and Rosie's cafe for a pot of tea, and their welcome has you staying all day or renting a chalet for the week. The beach is broad, there are jokes and fnar and fnar one liners printed on the menu and painted on the walls and fresh crab or egg mayo sandwiches to eat. A local treasure.
Glad I get a mention! ^

About Me

My photo
My first 21 years were in BRISTOL, Monks Park until I was 18, 3 years at Redland Teacher Training College then off to the bright lights of London for 10 years. Living in Horfield from the early 50s my dad took me to Eastville to watch the Rovers regularly, the first team mainly but often to see the reserves as well. I joined the supporters' club in the mid 60s and was membership secretary of the junior club, eventually taking over as chairman after the famous Gordon J Bennett left. In 1969 I moved to SE London to start my teaching career.I taught at Crown Woods, Eltham and Thomas Tallis in SE London and the next 27 years at Lake Middle School on the Isle of Wight. My main subject was mathematics and I taught a lot of PE concentrating mainly on football. Whilst in London I played football for Ramsgate, Faversham Town, Carshalton Athletic and Corinthian Casuals. My wife bought a half share in STROLLERS beach cafe in 2006 and I spend a lot of time with the customers. Viewing some of the pictures on this site will give you an idea of how I spend my leisure time.
