Friday is brewing day, you must know the rhyme:
Monday’s washing day,
Tuesday soooup,
Wednesday’s aroastabiff,
Thursday’s shepherds’ pie,
Friday fish,
Saturday is pay day,Sunday’s church …
Is everey body ‘appy? You bet your life we are.
Recorded by The Scaffold in May 1966
But seriously, who has roast beef on Wednesday? Must be:
Every day of the week or;Sunday or;
Never.
Definitely fish on Fridays though, and with good reason. On Fridays George from Fleetwood sets up his stall in Caroline Square in Skipton selling fresh fish, I am a regular visitor.
If I am what I eat then … I must have eaten about …
3233 fishes, if you include the about 2,400 mussels, lots of fish and fernerks, some whitebait, mebbe some 50 salmon, an Arctic char, a very small quantity of eel (smoked), my share of these:
6236 loaves, including about 520 home-baked sourdough ones
and around 8,032 pints of home-brewed beer and mebbe as many commercial ‘beerpints’. Cases of whisky, wine, no wild women, mind.
I’ve eaten frogs legs, shark, innumerable insects, I expect. Goosnargh cakes, Blackpool rock, a few stones of Yorkshire pudding, Paris buns, Eccles cakes, Pontefract cakes, London Gin, Stilton, Melton Mowbray pies, Aran Pilot potatoes,

Mmmm indeed, but don’t eat the seed potatoes. Ed.
Mmmmmmmm – potatoes … my favourite … must be nearly teatime ….
