"She's no stranger to the chip shop," is a well-known British saying when referring to ladies who don't look good in lycra. But although chip shops are everywhere in Britain they haven't always been called chip shops.

They were once called fish bars in England or potato taverns (tafarn tatws) in Wales. Many chips shops still go under the name fish bar.

But how do you refer to a chip shop in casual speech. The options reflect the common terms.
