There is some double counting, but that must be over 100 days each year. Catholics had most of these as well, but we had precise rules and were threatened with hell fire for eternity, while they were not.E sapelionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09886268559214926797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-60444914305947982772016-12-17T20:54:33.083+00:002016-12-17T20:54:33.083+00:00"Stangeways hotel" song, as learnt , ora..."Stangeways hotel" song, as learnt , oral tradition, student cross (pilgrimages to Walsingham in Holy Week),UK, late sixties:<br /><br />THERE'S FISH EVERY FRIDAY ,<br /> THERE'S FISH 3FOOT WIDE<br />IT COVERS UP THE PLATE<br />AND HANGS OVER THE SIDE<br />YOU CAN TELL THAT IT'S FRIDAY, <br />JUST BY THE SMELL <br />FOR THE FISH HAVE ALL DONE TIME<br />AT THE STRANGEWAYS HOTEL<br /><br />It being true I believe that way back when we were over 15% population and 25% in city centres and large families were common, we were also nearly 50% of the prison population, hence, possibly urban legend, Friday fish on offer inside, as most certainly in other non catholic institutions and many schools, many Anglicans and Methodists indeed were Fish on Friday people.<br />(Strangeways prison near Manchester I hope is still extant insofar as being the only neomudejar public building in Great Britain.)Mike Cliffsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06405021835510775527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4807826652341078989.post-75280124169153295002016-12-16T21:05:06.116+00:002016-12-16T21:05:06.116+00:00It is a not uncommon practice of restaurants to ha...It is a not uncommon practice of restaurants to have special nights for particular food. Steak Nights, Curry Nights, etc. A pub/restaurant near me, belonging to a chain, for some time a few years ago had Fish Nights on Fridays. That pub/restaurant is located near Glasgow. I might add that the non-denominational school where I taught for many years always had fish available on Fridays. However, I was informed by a Lutheran in the 1960s that the reason that they had fish on Thursdays, at the Lutheran institution where he worked, was to show that they weren't Catholics.
