The local chippy knew exactly what to do when I said I wanted the fish like the USA #RyderCup team and the chips like the USA fans.

🐟 battered!
🍟 extra salty!

Delicious 👌

Agreed, I’ve still got several on VHS tapes and still have a VHS player! So many instant hooks, recall being blown away on first hearing this Ride track. The no-nonsense female presenter was perfect as well.

To get out of town
Sat opposite a politician with his head held down
Walk back streets
To fresh air
I meet a journalist with no money for beer
I'm in a bourgeois town”

In the sandy surf of L.A. County
One day they put their sandals on
And decided to go in to Rochdale
They were pretty outta sight”

Hah, yeah although not sure if that can be included in the MES precog archive! 🤔

Likewise, it’s a very underrated track.
