Ketchup in UK

I'm writing a Torchwood fanfic and need to know about ketchup on chips. I have Mica Davies and Jack eating at a McDonalds and they're both eating ketchup on their chips.

Is this believable? Should I have Jack eating them with malt vinegar or something? Would a six year old actually do that or have they been indoctrinated to want ketchup at McDonalds?

Please help!

You have to ask for ketchup in the UK - you don't get it automatically. And sometimes it is referred to as "tomato sauce", but that might just be me, and I'm not officially British. I don't know if you can get vinegar at McDs here -- you can in standard fish and chip shops though.

Thanks for answering, I asked another person and they said that McDonalds does not carry vinegar so I'm going to leave it as it is and hope for the best...it's not like the actual episodes of Torchwood are 100% accurate either...

And I really do think I recall Rose having ketchup on her fries...
