Chippie in Portsmouth Road Fish and chip shops are a great British institution. In the 16th century Iberian refugees in London began selling white fish fried in a thin coat of flour. Friday became a particularly busy day as both Jews and Catholics wanted cooked fish that day. A hundred years later, Hugenots brought their fondness for fried potato to the capital. Joseph Malin opened the first chippy in Bethnal Green during the 1860s. Today there are more than 10,000 in England alone.

Pirri-pirri bur, Acaena novae-zelandiae An alien from New Zealand. The bur stage comes later as the seeds form.  It has clover-like flower heads, but the tiny flowers are not clover-like, nor are the leaves. I have only seen this in similar Surrey locations e.g. <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4971923">SU9167 : Plant in Swinley Forest</a>, although it apparently crops up quite widely.
