People on the street: Fish and chip-flation
Fish and chips is a cultural staple across the UK, but the cost of a chippy tea has risen exponentially over the last five years, making it harder for families to treat themselves.
We’ve asked people on the street their view on the price increase.

00:00Hi I'm Theo and today I'm out on the streets of Manchester asking people about fish and chips
00:04and there's a very simple reason for that. Fish and chips is one of the things that has gone up
00:08most over the course of the last five years it's risen by 50% and that's massively impacted
00:12people's ability to go out and have a cheeky chippy tea. I want to know whether people find
00:17themselves impacted by it often or whether it's not a massive deal for them and whether they
00:21think that it's a good situation or a bad one. We do get it every now and then I mean I love fish
00:25and chips but like it is just extortionate prices especially down south because I've lived in
00:32Bristol and it's like £13 sometimes like here in Manchester you can still get one for like
00:39you know £7, £6. It's not enough to notice the change I'm also just notice the change in the
00:44sense that like everything has gotten more expensive I've never really factored it down to
00:51specifically the fish and chips inflation. For me it was like
00:55almost every Friday we'd get like fish and chips but not at all anymore.
