There's always something else to complain about!!

St Andrews has been on that site for decades, now it appears to have the drones.

I've always thought that the standard of chippy in porty is well below what could be expected in a seaside town.All of them are a distant second to giovannis in Northfield.

I agree with you Franck. Gio's has been doing it right, must be nigh on 50 years.

I've always had a soft spot for St Andrew's chippy - we always used to buy a poke of chips there after swimming and then walk back home along the prom, so happy memories.

St Andrews was great after BB's at St Philips, a bag of chips and a walk back to the Christians. A poke of chips was 3d in 1968- the equivalentof 80 pokes for £1.

They have been going downhill for more than a decade, in my opinion !
