> In November 2011, the toast sandwich was recreated by the Royal Society of Chemistry in a tasting almost 150 years after the release of Beeton's Book of Household Management. The society sought to revive the forgotten dish in wake of the Great Recession after calculating the cost as low as 7.5p per sandwich. They named it "the country's most economical lunch", offering £200 to whoever could create a cheaper meal.

So quick read of that article shows that:
Haddock, the main fish used in 'fish and chips', is mostly sourced from domestic UK fishing (64.9%), followed by Iceland (18.1%), with China only providing 12.2%.
Cod, the traditional but more expensive fish for 'fish and chips' which you usually specifically request now, was mostly sourced from Iceland (30.1%), then secondly China (19.8%), with 13.3% sourced domestically.
So no, as most fish and chips is haddock, it's mostly UK caught fish you're eating at the chippy, and Iceland provides far more than China does.
You should read the articles you use before posting them (unless you were just hoping I wouldn't read it)

That's assuming that that Chinese cod/haddock all goes only to chippies when realistically it's gonna be in the cheap frozen fish fingers and shit. And it's not like chippies get their fish from multiple sources based on the proportion of import countries. Some crap chippies in city centres may get Chinese fish (I doubt) but any half decent one won't.

Nonsense. Simply nonsense. If you were to bring a 220V kettle to America, it would take longer to boil water than it does in the UK. But we have 120v kettles which are wired for 120v. Take one of them to the UK and it will quickly burn out. But over here, running on the power rating they were designed for, they will work just the same as the 240v models do in Britian. It's the amperes that drive the kettle, not just the volts.

That said, all houses in the US have 120 and 240 volt supply, we run the water heaters, clothes dryers and kitchen stoves on 240 here.

I’d love to fuck a British slag one day. Especially one I pick out of some gutter at 3 am with giant tits, too much makeup, soused to the gills and with a broken high heel.

I’d take her home and chug cider with her until my bladder is about to explode, then I’d take her into the shower and piss-blast her giant tits while she sputters out her incoherent guttural low-speech. Dripping with piss, I’d bend her over and raw-dog her, STDs be damned, while making her gag on four of my fingers. While she’s moaning like a stout in heat I’d pull out, spray my cum all over her asshole, then use it as lube as I force my way into her shitter. Then a standard alternation of ass-to-mouth would follow. She would gag on my length until her tits are covered in that warm foaming ale that brought her to my place. Then I’d tit fuck her and finish her off on the face, her makeup running and fake eyelashes dislodged from my powerful blast.

Then I’d turn on a warm shower, let her wash up, and take her to bed with me. We’d sleep off a night of booze and cooze and go out in the morning for a full English breakfast. We’d exchange numbers, and as much as I’d like to think it was just one crazy night with a typical Britslag, I wouldn’t be able to forget her. We’d meet again to date and we would fall in love, living happily ever after.
