You are paying for him bringing all the equipment over here. Harry Ramsden tried it at those sort of prices, he didn't last too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest proud2beaussie Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 "Seppo" is rhyming slang for American,"Septic Tank"=Yank. Actually I remember reading only a few weks ago that the company has been sold and I have found the link. http://blog.taragana.com/pr/harry-ramsdens-set-for-expansion-under-new-owner-11929/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest proud2beaussie Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I may have been wrong in assuming that Robc meant 'seppo" in that way,Kernow,there may be another meaning for it that I am not aware of. Maybe he meant that other word that rhymes with tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest boa Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 No, a chippie in the UK can also mean a carpenter most people seem to be able to tell the difference, maybe it's the smell or the abundance of chips :cute: Odd innit???
