Favorit
I There are two moments; iii like when a good chip shop is something of a sijxii‘kliiig gem in the dirt. One :5; pure nostalgia ~~ a bag of steaming hot Chips after the movies on a freezing cold Scottish evening. '1 he other is the simple blessing or deep fried salt to burn the taste of beer and tags out of one‘s mouth come 3am. 'lolleross' Central Takeaway (‘i 5 ‘levzot Place. 226 6898. 3am) and Rapido (77—79 Broughtoii Street. dot} 2011?. 2am) on opposfie sides of town, some this ritarket perfectly.
