As a boy in the sixties / seventies we went on holiday to Norfolk once or twice, staying at a place called Ostend on the coast near Cromer / Gt. Yarmouth I think.
One year we came across a vending machine that served CHIPS! You paid your money and five minutes later after the actual sound of chips frying including the SHOOOSH of cold wet potatoes entering hot fat, an absolutely perfect portion of proper chips (not french fries) came out. It made our holiday I can tell you.
I have never ever seen one of these since, and when we went back the next year the chip machine had disappeared. I can only imagine that there may have been some health and safety issues.
