This week is national chip week.
Yes, I said chip - as in the potato based product. National Chip Week. It's back for it's 18th year, don't you know.
It's organised by the Potato Council. Yep, you're not missreading again, there's even a Potato Council.
Why?
They've even counted, I'm not entirely sure how, that - and i quote:
"If you laid all the chips eaten in the UK each year end to end, they would take you around Silverstone Grand Prix circuit over 1.5 million times. That's the equivalent of more than 26,000 British Grand Prix's!"
They even wanted to exclaim it - hence the exclamation mark, obviously.
I say again, why?
Becasue they can. It' simply because they can.
So i thought. Not much, it wasn't required.
OTC can. OffTheChart could be like the Potato council (I don't see why i intend on capitalising it - it's not like it's important).
Every week, therefore, i am suggesting OTC decides on a "National SOMTHING Week". If you want to suggest a SOMETHING, then please post a reply below.
I'll then mention it on numerous occasions in my programmes. Then I too can take credit like the Potato Council.
I can't wait.

This is perhaps slightly less relevant than potato trivia, but much funner. (Yes, I said funner)
