FISH AND CHIP SHOP
MY FIRST TIME IN A FISH AND CHIP SHOP FOR ABOUT FORTY YEARS [CORK]
I worked for a short while in California back in 1979 and as a result of the life style that I encountered there I lost interest in fast food restaurants. However when I last visited Cork I was so busy that I did not get the chance to eat during the day and as all the local restaurants were about to close for the day by the time I got back to my hotel I had no option but to visit a Fish & Chip shop across the road.
This Fish And Chip Shop is located on Mac Curtain Street in Cork ... in some of my posts I spelled it as McCurtain Street and a reader drew my attention to this. I have looked at a number of business addresses and the two spellings plus MacCurtain Street appear to be used at random. The street [originally King Street] is named after Tomás Mac Curtain but he was born Thomas Curtin but going forward I will use MacCurtain.
