Not many 'proper' chippies left.

The Chinese chips never taste as good.

Fingerpost Chipmunk and Marg's probably best left.

Fingerpost Chipmunk for me too, Marg's well I haven't tried them ever, have I missed out then or what

Everyone knows the best chippy in England, and it's nearly always the one around the corner from them.

HOWEVER, as for Smelluns; I remember a really nice chippy in Rainford, can't think of what it was called, however. It served English and Chinese food, and it was next to (or very close to) a Co-op.
Anybody know the name and what it's like these days?

Might have been.
Though I seem to recall it having a semi-witty name.

Used to be Lathoms on Greenfield Road/Dentons Green Lane (whichever one the down towards town one is), now it's either The Tasty Corner or The Crispy Cod. The chips aren't bad in Chans on Knowsley Road either.

rainford supper bar was easily the best chinese take away for years - gone a little bit down hill since a few staff changes - still the only place for salt & pepper chicken though.

Chips are decent.

Let's keep it that way. Fish and chips should be the priority of a chippy not nouvelle cuisine.
