It’s National Fish and Chips day, and what better way to celebrate than to drink in a bit of Yorkshire Prose?

But, curiously, they don’t exist in the south, with most shops preferring to cook their produce in sunflower oil, producing a noticeably different fare.

The divergence in styles has been wonderfully summarised by internet poet Yorkshire Prose.
