Chip shop sausages and actual sausages are quite the different thing in Britain. Dev gets this. People go to a chippy in the same way they go to get a kebab on a Friday night. It is not gourmet food. It just satisfies the munchies. I was quite partial to a battered sausage back in the day.
Decent, butchered sausage with genuine mash is an experience. You need a potato ricer for that, though. And like Davina stated... gravy you have to eat with a fork.
