Whitchurch Chip Alley.
https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/l...treet-22889062
I can see it now few years down the line. Is it Whitchurch or is it Chippy Alley.?

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
‘New’ Chip Alley, as far as I know there’s not an old one. Not in Cardiff anyway.

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
Boarded up empty retail premises are, on the other hand, a great way to demonstrate to the world that yours is an upmarket, thriving community

I wonder if Tonys 2 will open up there.?

I came here to say the very same.
If they are referring to Caroline Street, will that mean another shop will start selling special interest videos and magazines behind a curtain at the back of the shop?

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
If those indignant residents had spent a bit more cash in their local shops, they wouldn't all have turned into take-aways....

I don’t know, if I hear any f*cker doing that ‘Dominooooooooooo’ off the adverts I’m liable to strangle them.

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
Caroline street was always Chippy Lane when I was a young man.

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
I’ve never seen an untidy Dominoes yet .. it should be an asset to the area even if they are expensive pizzas. I’m saving up for one !!

You'll be able to get a much better and cheaper pizza at the Italian restaurant just down the road.

Did you really refer to Caroline St as Chippy Lane or are you joking? first i ever heard of it was when Charlotte Church was down there pissing it up with various welsh rugby players. Referred to in the media.

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
It's always been Caroline Street. This Chippy Lane crap comes from some tosser on local radio, a few years back...

We’ve been through this before many times, it’s Caroline Street as any self respecting Cardiffian knows.

I was referring to the nickname.
Of course it is Caroline Street but it is possible to use a nickname as well
And that nickname was Chippy Lane when I first heard it many years ago.
But I have no idea when it started.

Exactly :thumbup:
-
Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
Its clearly Caroline Street. But call it chippy alley and everyone knows where your referring to.
Just a nickname its like saying Alex Higgins isnt Hurricane Higgins or Paul Gascoigne isnt Gazza.
Bit of Kairdiff snobbery I reckon.

When it first started to get dominated by chippys drunks used to pile into after kicking out time probably.

Good Grief
I agree with you on something (except I still say it is Lane rather than Alley)
Football fans should surely be comfortable with nicknames!!!

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
It's Merthyr Road not Chippy Lane🙂
-
Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
Apparently the Cardiffian did a survey and on top the majority of people refer to it as Chippy Lane. 2nd came Chippy Alley and 3rd with just 18% Caroline Street.
So simple rename Caroline St Chippy Lane , Whitchurch can then be free to be Chippy Alley. Everyones happy.

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
People I know who moved to Cardiff to attend university call it Chippy Lane, so I thought it was a student thing.

While we're at it, What's peoples opinion on Cardiff being referred to as 'The Diff' :puke:

Kairdiff?? Whatever next!! There are little idiosyncrasies that help you sort out the pecking order of the human race. If you’re in a town pub and you overhear a group of people saying that they’re off to Chippy Lane/Alley (they can’t even make their mind up on that) after and another group saying they’re nipping down Caroline Street, I know who I’m dining with and you can guarantee the former aren’t speaking with our beloved Cardiff twang.
Dear God they’ll be calling daps.... trainers next, gobs....jacks or five stones, parkies.....wardens, watchies.....night security men, mitching....truanting etc. It’ll all end in tears I tell you.
