Managed to have an excellent fish at Sing Fong so the afternoon wasn’t a total write off
A large battered fish perches atop some chips in a tray. Both are covered with curry sauce.

If you’ve managed to have a listen to this, then this badly photographed piece of microfilm is the news article I was talking about. If not, the article is copied in full in the alt text. All politics is local.
Microfilm Yorkshire Evening Post article with the following text: Expulsion? I don’t care says Jackie Charlton. EP Correspondent. Guadalajara, Tuesday. Leeds United an England footballer Jackie Charlton said today he ‘really couldn’t care less about the possibility of being expelled from Harehills Conservative Institute, Leeds. He may be expelled from the Institute as a result of a twelve page booklet just published by the Labour Party in Leeds to which he explains why he and his family vote Labour. He said he did not think it was necessary to be a Conservative to be a member a Conservative club and that if the Institute Committee wanted to throw him out it was all right by him. “Anyway, I only joined because they had a good angling section and four good billiard tables” said Jack, who is in Mexico with England’s World Cup team. The Labour booklet, entitled ‘Why?’ and bearing a full cover photograph of Jack Charlton was being discussed tonight by the Institute Committee. Mr John Moran, one of three Conservative councillors for Harehills ward, has said he believed the Institute Committee intended recommending the full committee to expel Mr Charlton. “It is a ruling that members of the Institute should be Conservatives, and they must sign a form to that effect when they join. Of the £1 a year subscription, 4s. goes to Conservative Party funds,” said Mr Moran. A committee member said the Institute did not wish to comment on Mr Charlton’s statement until a special committee meeting to discuss the issue had taken place.
