A memory came to me,
A time with my wife
Up in the Yorkshire Dales.
We went there for many years,
One day we went to Whitby.
Over the Dales,
Over the Moors
To Whitby.
We walked round the town,
Saw the Abbey,
Saw the whalebones,
But did not see Dracula,
Did not see him as the sun was shining.
But the thought that came to mind
Was we had to have fish and chips there,
So into the restaurant we went
And ordered our fish and chips.
Such a wonderful meal it was,
The fish was bigger than the plate
But the thing that amazed me was the cost,,
Fish, chips, mushy peas
Bread and butter
And a cup of tea,
All for three pounds, seventy five pence.
I have never forgot that price,
So cheap for a wonderful meal.
