    SDDW,
    I trust you treated everyone, dogs included, to Fish 'n' Chips at the Magpie cafe' - said by many to be the best chippy in the UK and therefore the whole universe .

    Edit:
    Love the pics, particularly the third one.

    You get what you pay for these days (sometimes ) Must admit it's been a long time since I last tried them though.

    Lol - you tend to find that in Scotland, too, particularly around seaside resorts and tourist areas.

    The 'famous' chippies are often unspectacular, and usually vastly overpriced, full of queues of daftees (usually tourists), who don't know any better, waiting to be served, whereas the ones further down the road, or along a back street somewhere, used by locals, are superb and half the price!

    Lesson: never go to eat where it is superficially most 'popular'. Head to where the locals go, off the beaten track. That rule applies more than ever, when abroad!

    Superb pics, as usual, Andy. I think you're getting better all the time!

    It's been several years since I've eaten there myself. If we ever get any sun I might get the roof down and take a trip over there.

    I did use a tripod, my hand is not that steady.
    Though even in the low light conditions the exposure was still quite short.

    Hi Dave

    Cheers for your comments.
    By the time I passed the Magpie Cafe' it was shut.
    Having said that, Fish and Chips sat on Whitby harbour front, nothing gets any better than that, wherever they were bought from, with the 'chinking of boat rigging' in the background.
    Will have to visit more often than I do.
