I went up North, home for the Easter weekend to stay with the family. We did the normal Shaw family holiday activities, most of which my Dad organises around various pubs, cafes and restaurants he likes.

I did make everyone go to Southport on Saturday for lunch, as it has the best restaurant. Ever. It’s a fish and chip place called, “Chip-A-Hoy” - get it? Now, it may not be the classiest place in the world. Your chances of bumping into P Diddy or Kate Moss here are somewhat remote, but they do the best fish and chips. It’s down a dark back street and you wont find it unless you know where to look. It’s very English, very Northern English, normally full of old people and you can get a meal for about £2. This place is one of the things I miss about being away from home.

• your chances of bumping into Kate Moss anywhere food is present are slim to none. period.
