Whitchurch Chip Alley.

[Hilts]

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.

[Alan Lung]

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.

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!!!

[The Bloop]

It's Merthyr Road not Chippy Lane🙂

[Hilts]

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.

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'

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.

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

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.

[G rangetown Blue]

It’s Merthyr Road…unless you’re an egg chaser, or a valley commando !

[life on mars]

So many good restaurants as well .

Nothing like the correctly named Caroline Street .

Spot on!

[life on mars]

Can we have a Caroline Street separate section?

[A Quiet Monkfish]

..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!

For God’s sake don’t get anyone started on Cardiff Bridge (that everyone calls Canton Bridge)

Next people will be saying that Tiger Bay never existed
