@CinnamonGirlE I do now! 🤣😱

@CinnamonGirlE @stueytheround

A four of fish
Finger pies
Sounds nice! 😹

@amarand Oh my! 🤣

@stueytheround

I know! Or rather, I didn’t know, until you drew my attention to it! 😹

@amarand I had no idea! 🤣

@stueytheround

I personally think they were just really good lyricists and were looking for things that scanned well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@amarand Given that the song is filled with memories, I'm thinking they were reminiscing about a good teenaged night out 🤣

@stueytheround

I have always assumed that a lot of the “Penny Lane” era lyrics were nonsense, not to be interpreted literally. It’s incredible to think about when The Beatles were famous and popular, things were drastically different.

@amarand
Oh no. Penny Lane in Liverpool is a very real place, my Mum used to get her fish and chips in the very takeaway alluded to in the lyrics.
The roundabout where the "pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray" was a popular teen hangout. Some of the characters are made up, and of course there's plenty of artistic license but the general idea is based in reality. 😁

@stueytheround @amarand

thought you'd have known that lol

@ecksmc I knew about "a four of fish" but had no idea about the "finger pies". I just thought they were being silly, a bit like Queen's "Fried Chicken" at the end of One Vision! @amarand

@stueytheround was a guy from Greenwich that told me what it meant years ago back in mid-90's - i thought it was just a clever play on words like you say being silly
