It's chips, not fries. I'm not having my fried eggs on a bed of fries...
Yous guys don't know your arse from a hole in the ground. We'd have hash-browns with our eggs, and on the side, not on a bed. Besides, chips come in bags, although I think I once saw someone in Manchester having his eggs on a bed of potato chip bags. Not really sure because everything was obscured by the mound of baked beans.

What a minute. Didn't I read Donald already annexed Canada? Something to do with a dispute over beaver pelts and maple syrup. Only a matter of time before the courts make the Canadianism "eh" a heinous crime. There goes 50% of your vocabulary.

We've had a further cultural erosion here as chips are often called "fat chips" nowadays, like skinny chips, fries, frites is somehow the standard.

Chips. Proper chips. Proper: "denoting something that is truly what it is said or regarded to be; genuine" ... standard.
