I remember when yo yos and inline skate hockey were a craze. Traveling hours to a chippy to take a picture for likes online is strange.
The "influencers" are weird fuckers who got a few likes and wanted to start doing night club appearances.
The generation of now need to get out more. People going bad for that cal the dragon is a perfect example.
Have a word.

I don't think it is actually mocking though. Things seem to go too far the other way. Almost like some of them need a good mocking.
There are people who film themselves taking penalties against garden gnomes who are now hailed as celebrities by these weirdos.
Can't imagine texting my mates at 18 saying let's drive 200 miles to a closed chippy to video ourselves dancing. It's a different world.
It's all about "clout" now.

Why rush to a mediocre chip shop when there’s the Toby carvery next door?

I couldn't be more of an old man if I tried, I genuinely don't get any of it. Wtf is "clout"?
Even so, what they decide is funny I do usually find offensive and mocking in tone.

Basically likes and attention. Bandwagon they want to get on.
I wouldn't say it's offensive, just very strange.

Much better to sit on your phone trying to be famous on SBT

And that's all there is, isn't there? Bandwagon. No actual real content, just "following". If that's all there is....

Also tbf, if I wanted to be famous I'd be doing something other than visiting a chip shop.

Much more "elite" and "top tier".

I grew up in Willenhall wood in the 70’s not sure if it was a chippy then, but we always used the Marina on a Friday night anyway.

Growing up we only ever got it from Frydays near Green Lane which I think still exists.

Different gravy
Have a feeling it was newsagents at one point, possibly petrol station.

Binley Mega 4 star and a can of Tango isn't as catchy.

It was an Ammaco garage and it had a New Scotland Yard type rotating masthead up until mid 80's-ish

Are you sure? The Marina was right down by the junction with London Road. There was one much closer to Willenhall Wood at the other end of St James Lane and another at the bottom of Remembrance Road, just inside the precinct.

Yes I know but the marina was the best and going down remembrance rd in the 70’s wasn’t the brightest thing.
We lived just off Yarningale rd.

It's all over ITV GMB this morning.
If you want decent fish and chips go to Brownsover in Rugby. 10 mile round trip for me and well worth it. There, stick that all over your social media.

It was a Murco garage when I grew up in Binley…with a decent video rental section. I never returned Footloose and always felt bad…Asian guy called Gordon owned the garage if I recall. Strangely I can’t recall what I’m meant to be doing at work today but can remember worthless shite like that from 1984

The newsagent was Crawlies…. Just down from the petrol station. The owners son was a decent footballer who played at a pretty high level if I recall. Ffs I’m at it again with useless memories!!!
