It has what is probably the best fish and chip shop in Shropshire though. The Shire Fryer? My family all swear by it. I've not made it over there yet. Never understood why people spoil fish by encasing it in batter |

There's a famous Private Eye "Colemanballs" I recall of a headline saying "Three battered in fish shop"

I'm sure there will be one next to a church called "The Piece of Cod".
Our nearest punning name is "Pete's Pan". It is run by a Greek Cypriot, as most of the best chippies are round here.

This feels about right, though I wouldn't be surprised if at least one of the North Shropshire wards went Tory; maybe Shawbury would be a good candidate for that? How close was Reform to coming first in one or other of the Telford wards? You would know better than me about North Shropshire - obviously the scale of the Lib Dem victory and the absence of any particular local strongholds for them leads the data to point to a big Lib Dem lead everywhere. Shawbury and The Meres do have a jhigher Tory share than most wards on my figures, but that isn't saying much. The closest Reform come in Telford is in Priorslee but that's because it's a three way marginal - they have a higher vote share in several other wards, but with Labour further ahead. The closest they come in the whole county is in Highley but again not due to a massively high vote itself but because it's close three ways (almost a four way marginal) Helen definitely won everywhere, I believe the “closest” ward was indeed Shawbury but I don’t think the Tories got close to breaking 30% anywhere and Helen wasn’t below 45% anywhere. |
