      Fish and chips are overpriced, it’s not like anyone is eating this daily. We don’t need a healthy option at the chip shop and nobody would buy it anyway. The fruit and veg would spoil before it sold and chip shops will be forced to further increase their prices

      The laundry list of jobsworth officials in that article all trying to prevent the opening of a single chippy is a microcosm of everything that’s wrong with Britain.

      There is a Costa coffee in my local hospital and that isn’t exactly a health food shop.

      > NHS bosses want chippy to sell fruit and veg

      Potatoes are vegetables.

    5. Naive-Archer-9223 on

      NHS boss is completely out of touch with how real life works 

      What a shock 

    6. brazilish on

      How about we let private businesses sell what they want and then we buy from the ones that offer us what we want instead of stipulating what should and shouldn’t be sold?

      I remember my school canteen (pre Jamie Oliver) had a fruit bowl. If you got a payback card, a good one was throwing the fruit all out on the Friday when it had gone brown. One time a sixth former brought an apple to the till and they let her have it for free as they had no idea how to ring it up.

      So yeah, basically having it there isn’t going to help. Nobody is buying fish and chips because they didn’t have an apple present at the chippy.

      I know the food at the chippy isn’t healthy. It’s why it’s a treat

      It’s not like I eat that stuff for every meal

      If the locals aren’t buying fruit and veg from the available shops/supermarkets, what fucking chance is there of them buying fruit and veg from a fucking chipper

    10. XenorVernix on

      And yet we wonder why our economy is stagnating. This kind of thing is playing out all over the country.

    11. throwawayyourlife2dy on

      Why do NHS bosses even exist honestly I’m interested to what insight a business and leadership graduate has in running a healthcare business ? How can someone understand the way it works if you have never worked in it before

    12. Individual-Storm-557 on

      I think Halfords should sell fruit and veg as well. I’ll have 2 litres of 5W40, a new set of windscreen wipers and a pineapple please

    13. second_shadow on

      My chippy sells salad, you just have to order a kebab to go with it

    14. CandleAffectionate25 on

      Yet, our MP wants more NHS bosses OVER more nurses on the shop floor. Christ. 🫣

    15. No-Ninja455 on

      Gut feeling is that per capita consumption of chips is down, yet these health problems are increasing.

      If my gut feeling is right then the problem is likely elsewhere 

    16. Harilari on

      Even if I wanted an apple. why would I buy one from a place that feels and smells greasy? The idea of buying fresh fruit in a place that has an almost taste able aura of fryer oil sounds grim.

    17. Asleep_Mountain_196 on

      Welsh government and wacky pointless policies, name a better duo.

    18. Tobias---Funke on

      And nobody will buy it.

      I go to the chippy for fish and chips not my groceries!

    19. pumaofshadow on

      As a permanent resident I have 3 other shops in reach of the Fish and Chip shop which can and do sell fruit and veg. And are even open later than our chippy is.

      Its not going to change what people order in there, even in tourist areas there are local convenience stores and supermarkets in reach.

    20. LeRosbif49 on

      Pickled onion, pickled gherkin, mushy peas, potatoes . Sounds balanced to me.

    21. jimmyswitcher on

      How about we instead encourage veg markets in towns and on streets?

    22. Mountain_Bag_2095 on

      Like chips (potato) and mushy peas aren’t already veg? I guess more of them could do banana fritters to get the fruit up.

    23. ashyjay on

      Chips are veg, pies can have veg in them. what’s the matter?

    25. FreakinSweet86 on

      “Can I get a large cod, large portion of chips and one of your deep fried battered apples please”

    26. pencilrain99 on

      Can’t wait to be able to get a kebab at the green grocers

    28. Glad_Librarian_3553 on

      How’s that gonna help?! I’m fat enough already without having my fruit and veg battered and deep fried! 😭

    29. scorchgid on

      Honestly i actually wouldn’t object to slightly less chips and fish and have a mixed roast veg to go with it. Broccoli, peppers etc would be kinda nice. Just fish and chips makes me feel kinda bloated js.

    30. MechaStarmer on

      A typical fish and chip shop already sells potatoes, peas, onions, pineapple, salad.

    31. jonathing on

      But there used to be shops that sold fruit and vegetables, they were called greengrocers, but Tesco (et al) put them out of business

    32. Cherrybomber70 on

      Yep battered Veg

      .it’s called Tempura..very nice ! Sweet chilli sauce on the side

    33. Meet-me-behind-bins on

      Fruit and veg? That’ll not be bought and thrown away? What the hell are these mindless bureaucrats smoking?

      In the whole history of people going to Chippys only one person has ever asked for fruit or veg. And they were banned and run out the town.

    34. farlos75 on

      My local chippy does battered mushroom skewers. That counts right?

    35. martymcflown on

      How does one land a 6 figure jobsworth position in a council to make stupid decisions and not be held accountable? Sounds like a dream job.

    36. MoneyStatistician702 on

      Since when has a private business got anything to do with the NHS?

    38. Rulweylan on

      My local chippy already does salads. They come with the kebabs.

      Can’t say I feel noticeably healthier after one of those than after fish and chips though.

    39. bobblebob100 on

      My local hospital have a fruit n veg stall outside the main entrance. Fruit i get, you got the market covered from visitors buying grapes for patients. Not sure why they sell lettuces tho

    40. manuka_miyuki on

      meanwhile, most NHS hospitals have costa coffees or similar that are filled with sugary coffee, milkshakes and cakes. as well as a shit ton of vending machines that have sugary fizzy drinks, crisps and chocolate.

      but sure, let’s blame small businesses once more.

    41. daemon-of-harrenhal on

      With all due respect to the NHS bosses: go fuck yourselves. 

    42. NotMyFirstChoice675 on

      Banana fritter. Pineapple ring. Pickled onion. Mushy peas. Done

    43. appendix10 on

      Thing is person coming up with the idea of not only a killjoy, but is also paid a ridiculous amount of money to boss people around

    44. booshbaby3 on

      NHS trust here gives fish and chips to patients for lunch on a Friday, every hospital in the trust.

    45. Durzo_Blintt on

      What a terrible business suggestion. How are these people bosses of anything? My cat is smarter than these cunts.

    46. saxbophone on

      Bring it on! I could do with a nice side of boiled veg with my fish and chips! I’m willing to sacrifice 30% of the other components of the meal (by weight or volume) for a little side of carrots and broccoli ☺️

    47. long_legged_twat on

      I’m looking forward to going into a scottish chippie & getting my deep fried battered carrot & chips 🙂

    48. SupremoPete on

      Who the hell goes to a chippy to buy fruit and veg except maybe mushy peas

    49. Melonpan78 on

      In Scotland, they already do. Cannae beat a wee banana fritter.
