We go through Wetwang every year, not sure if we have had the fish and chips but we have had quite a few along the route in our 10 years of going to Brid. We have so many great fish and chip shops here, we may not have notced Wetwangs superior taste, don't they have a Scarecrow festival there too or is that further on? Moh, Stamford Bridge, so famous and so forgotten, changed the course of British history!
The scarecrow thing seems to be a feature of many villages over here in the East Riding, and in the lower end of Swaledale and Wensleydale too.
Going back to Wetwang, there is another very nice place purvaying refreshment and it is only just over a mile outside Wetwang. It is a place that one could easily pass by and not notice its presence. It is near the corner of a road junction in a small wood. It is a large Log Cabin, which looks as though it could have been built build with the trees felled to make the clearing (apart from the fact that they are the wrong sort of trees)
It is a very nice place to stop, because it is almost always quiet and the food is really very good quality for the times in which we live.
BUT you must be aware that they do not cook anything on the premises. They do, however, supply freshly brewed tea or coffee, because that is done using the sort of kit used in supermarket selfservice places. This is all due to Health and Safety!!! and there are no prizes for guessing that the place is owned and run by ERYC. It is closed from the end of October to the enf of February and I am not going to give any more directions as to how to get to it for two reasons :-
1) Too many people knowing about it would make it much busier and
2) My Council Tax subsidises it !!!!

One of the nice things about carting hay and straw and tanking milk was that it got you into some out-of-the-way places. I remember Wetwang and also Land of Nod which was over that way as well.
My fish and chip memory from those days was at Cawood where there was a wooden bridge over the River Wharfe that used to be under water when the river was in flood. I had to pick some hay up from a remote farm near their and was told that there would be a bloke waiting at the fish and chip shop to guide me to it. I was three days late getting there and seeing a bloke leaning against the window cill of the shop I pulled up to ask the way. The first thing he said was "Where the hell have you been!" turned out that he had Farmer's Lung and spent most of his time leaning there. I thought he'd been waiting for me! Had fish and chips there on the way back, they were good!

Eat them whilst you can, won't be long before they go the same way as the dreaded weed and alcohol. We may enjoy one portion a month and that will be it. Someone has to look after our health even if we don't.

No one mentoned Morrisons yet. I don't indulge anymore, but their F & C takes some beating for quality and value. All freshly cooked individually, with garden or mushy, brought to your table for less than the price of a take away in paper.

There used to be a wooden "Chippy" at the bottom of Market Street in Nelson. I was in there , a good few years ago ,waiting for some fish to be ready , when a bloke popped his head in from the street and said.... " Al 'ave four pennuth o' chips"........The chap behind the range just said... "What for" ?

I was in a pub in Blackburn once where the landlord got fed up with lads coming in and thinking it was funny to ask for a pint of beer to take out. That evening he took the lads money first then pulled a pint straight into a polythene bag and handed it to him.

I go through Cawood, quite often Stanley and it still floods.
One of my friends flatmates, 30 years ago, walked into a pub and asked the barman "alright if I take a seat?" nodding at the bar stool, thinking he was going to sit down and order apint the barman said "help yourself!" they had that bar stool in the flat for years, and he often delighted in telling people about the look on the barmans face as he nipped out of the door with it!

Gates chippy on Market Street, Bradders. It's gone now. All the Council buildings are there now. No more Lambert's Market neither.

Just north of the road between Guisborough and Whitby is a village called Ugborough (I think). Land of Nod Farm is nearby.

Yes, Land of Nod, is a couple of farms and nothing much else. I am told that the name 'Land of Nod' is mentioned in the Bible (Genesis). It seems to mean "dreamland" !

I used to have a customer to visit in Loose (near Maidstone ) and I was told that the village had a Women's Institute.......I believe there is also a place called Ugley (in Essex ?) too !
