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.

But I have no idea when it started.
You should be ashamed of yourself mate.

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.

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.

That is the only answer.
Chip Alley and Chippy Lane are from the warped imagination of outsiders and local media tw@ts who tend to float in when the rugby is on.
Locals know it only as Caroline St.

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
It’s Merthyr Road…unless you’re an egg chaser, or a valley commando !

Re: Whitchurch Chip Alley.
So many good restaurants as well .
Nothing like the correctly named Caroline Street .

..and while we're on the subject, although it's officially 'Tudor Street', it's always been known by locals etc., as Tudor 'Road'. Hmm!
