As breakdown cover provider, Green Flag, turns 50 this year – they are celebrating the occasion by offering fish and chips for everyone in three locations across the UK for absolutely free – and Manchester is one of them! The brilliant giveaway comes after a new study by Green Flag that reveals that over two-thirds of Mancunians voted fish and chips as the most British dish, beating a full English breakfast and a Sunday Roast to the post. However, as with any freebie – people will need to get down there quick, as it’s first come first served.
