My understanding is that some random bloke not associated with it in any way found pictures of it on google , thought it looked funny and had a funny name , and started a tiktok account and one of the videos has 8 million views so it’s blown up from there

I’d actually rather it didn’t happen to be honest , because now it will be even more rammed than before and i’ll get no reward for being an original binley mega chippy fan

Controversially I think it has fairly recently changed hands and a bit of complaints about it not being as good.
On the plus side they do take card now.

Went past yesterday and there was a minibus of tourists / influencers turning up, as the 'Binley Mega Chippy song' blared out at high volume.

"influencers"
It's really cringeworthy. They all want to be famous.
What they need is a 2 footer at knee height, the cunts.

Of course you never get fish and chips at the seaside, either - best to come to the most landlocked part of the country for fresh fish!West Midlands chip shop becomes TikTok sensation

How long before the residents of near by Tarquin et al come and take the tourists nice things from them?
Also it's a bang average chippy

It's so fucking weird, sheep mentality. As if it's a scientific experiment.

What a bunch of awkward gimps just trying to get famous.
They could be down the park drinking cider, doing massive jumps on their bike, playing football and fingering. Instead they do that.

Can anyone explain Tik Tok? The girl who travelled miles to see it rather than go to the seaside said it was because "it's just so random". Is that it? Is that culture now? We've got to the stage where "irony" is so misunderstood that doing ANY old shit and giggling at it stupidly counts?
Also all the articles and new items miss the obvious: the original video and the following hype is not complimentary, it is purely mocking. A lot of the online likes are by non-English people who don't like English culture and think we're hypocritically snobs, having the Queen and liking to tell everyone what to do, but then eating like shit. Like when The Simpsons portrayed us as looking like gap-toothed Victorian's and queuing up for Judi Dench's Fish and Chips. Ergo all the people there now aren't complimenting it, they're "ironically" mocking it.
What is sad is that any satire in the original video is lost-there is barely a mention of Mrs Thatcher. I suppose Tik Tok doesn't know who she is? I would assume, with as much analysis as I can manage with such a fucking pathetic medium, that the original point is:
1) Binley Mega Chippy used to be good, but now it's been bought by Indians and is shit.
2) Mrs Thatcher didn't like black and brown people so wouldn't like the Chippy now.
3) Possibly some implication that Mrs Thatcher would hate the modern Britain, but got the one she deserved? Winning...
It's utterly baffling, however. Did the old farts in the 70's hate the punks as much as I hate young people and their so-called culture now? Talk about a dead end......
