That is shocking: there seems to be no square sausage!

Not big on chippys, I would suggest the 2 hamburgers are the chippy equivalent. The thread on Twitter is very funny. And Joanna Blythman is disgusted by it all.

For the health concious and those watching your waistline, I would point out that there is a 'healthy' option available.
Which is basically everything in the box,
but it comes with diet Irn Bru.

Thank heaven you didn't say "salt n' sauce".
That would, of course, be blasphemy.

I'm from the East, but live in the west. I cannot come to terms with the salt'n vinegar society so have to avoid chippies altogether for fear of commiting cultural vandalism.
My first forays used to go like this:
Fish supper please.
Salt'n vinegar?
No, just brown sauce please.
(Confused look), salt'n vinegar?
No, just brown sauce please.
(Totally flummoxed look, containers seemingly glued to hands)  now dumbstruck but still mouthing the words!
Now, do I repeat myself one more time or give in to the inevitable? I try again and finally get what I, the customer, wants.Exit chippie feeling the stares on my back as I leave.

Right.
This is, of course, the major theological divergance.
Forget "Auld Lichts" and "New Lichts".
Forget the disruption.
The question of identity is at stake here.
I can just about live with "salt and sauce" with a carmudgeonly Prespytertian, buty please tell me you do not pursue the line of heresy which leades to chips and cheese.
This would require absolution, or, for that matter, copious  lubrication of the llarnyx with Lagavulin at the penitant's expense....
