My goodness this chip shop owner could never have foreseen that his 1/9d Fish & chips would one day cost upwards of £10.00, 50 years later. £10 would have been a weeks' wages for some people in 1963 . Great video.. I love to see how much nicer people were back when I was a child..

Remarkable! Not only did Tarry do home deliveries of fast food decades before anybody else, he was psychic as well! You phoned in, placed your order and he knew who you were and where you lived without even bothering to ask.... pretty good, eh?

This was my local chip shop as a child. It was next door to the school and near the local sweet shop which was called Rosie's if I remember correctly. It was a special treat I used to go with one of my sisters! I remember the family and went to college with one of the girls. His name wasn't Mr Tarry but I can't say what it was although I know it. I lived in Corstorphine for twenty years 1961 to 1981. Happy days

Superb, spent many a visit to Tarry's growing up in Corstorphine, from the mid 60's onwards, just cant remember when Tarry's disappeared, although I think the shop is now a Chinese.

In 1963, people say .... fish supper too expensive, at 2 shillings delivered to your door. That's about £1.70 today. Good luck getting a fish supper delivered for £1.70 in 2024. Just the fish supper is £10. Delivery is an extra £5.

How utterly delightful. Growing up on a remote dairy farm in New Zealand in the 60s I could only dream of such a luxury. Purchasing food like takeaways was strictly forbidden. Our nearest f&c shop was 5 miles away. Dogfish was the most common fish and several shellfish were available. 😁
