So disappointing! I checked in Wikipedia (which of course is always true
), and they really are American! I was convinced we could lay claim to them. And then I thought maybe we invented the chip first so already had the word in use, but alas 7 years after the american chip (crisp). My whole universe is in disarray
Yes, meant to say out rather than our. If the tabloids hear there isn't Europe-wide solidarity on the chip/crisp issue, it may just be the final straw for the anti-europe people
. I'll not tell
