i8hibsh Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Only in Scotland eh!! Total quality Anyone remember the one that went around Clermiston and Drumbrae called 'the nippy chippy'? I actually think as a nation you could genuinely not get any unhealthier We must be the only country where you take something that is already stacked in calories (pizza) and deep fry it - as clearly it wasn't unhealthy enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavsy Van Gaverson Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Ali's Chip Van was quality. It was two minutes from Forries near the old Ferranti building in the Gyle Industrial Estate. I remember that Ali (if that was his name) only had one thumb - I always checked my chips first to see if it was in them. A half pizza supper was only 70p (it was 1995) - what a bargain!!!!! Also have memories of everyone trying to kill Seagulls by throwing their chips in front of moving cars. They seagulls were always too quick / clever. *******s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was also an ice cream van called Maxi's in the 80s. Maybe the same one. Although this one was was blue and white, and was an old converted ambulance that also had stairs at the back.

The Brow Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Only in Scotland eh!! Total quality Anyone remember the one that went around Clermiston and Drumbrae called 'the nippy chippy'? I actually think as a nation you could genuinely not get anything tastier We must be the only country where you take something that is already extremely tasty (pizza) and deep fry it - as clearly it wasn't tasty enough I took the trouble to edit your post. The nippy chippy was great. Think it must have been about 90-92. I remember it and I moved house in 92-ish. It was ran by the parents of a boy in the class above me. Big blue van. It also sold puff candy bars which were magic as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
