Cheap As AsRes; YEW TREE FISH BAR Stoney Lane, Yardley.Byline: GRAHAM YOUNG VERDICT: ***** MY 1.40pm Saturday visit was intended to be a good test at the end of a hot lunchtime - but, it turned out, you could also say I was early for an extra-time World Cup stint. Oh dear. In my experience, the longer a chippy chip·py or chip·pie n. pl. chip·pies 1. A chipping sparrow. 2. Slang A woman prostitute. [From chip2.] is open the more elusive perfection becomes. Weighing in at 300g for 70p on my in-car scales, too many of my chips were bad. All were lukewarm and none tasted particularly fresh. Like team England hours later, they'd simply wilted under the strain of expectation. GRAHAM YOUNG Do you know a good chippie chip·pie n. Variant of chippy. ?
