Conversation in our house last night, “I’ll get fish for tea tomorrow, being Good Friday? (old Catholic habits die hard), oh and have you done your food for work tomorrow?”.......”Yep, I used that beef that was in the fridge”.:facepalm:

I've got this vague memory that my grandparents (Catholic) had fish EVERY Friday. Does that ring any bells?
That’s true, not just Good Friday, never had meat in our house on a Friday. Lucky to have it any other day mind:-)
As a Catholic child Good Friday was tough. It was a Friday, no school but you had to be dressed smart for a grim afternoon in church with it all stripped down with no flowers or joy, priest wearing black cassocks and a silent packed church in mourning.
Then you had to go up to the front to kiss the feet of Jesus (covid rules won't allow that to happen today).
My grandparents (who we lived with) were traditional church goers and always had fish on Friday as well, usually with parsley sauce (yuck) and boiled potatoes.
I have some nice lightly dusted sole fillets from Waitrose for tea.
Married a catholic, l’m making a fish curry later.
We usually have fish on Friday. Def a tradition in her family.
Met my missus on Good Friday 1996. Marrying her on Monday 25 years to the day we met. Stag nights in my back garden tonight and tomorrow night (rule of six)
Yeah thanks boys. We have both been married before. I had always assumed that having been together for so long we would have the same rights as a married couple. Not so. So time to get hitched.
