What are potato chips called in England if french fries are called chips?

They're called Crisps. I agree i went to France and the chips were called crips because my brother went France on school trip and he asked for crisps and they have him chips! +++ There's also a slight difference in that British potato-chips are cut thicker than French Fries, and their surfaces are not fried to crispness so the inner should be tender but still firm. The version sold by MacDonalds, in the UK at least, is very thin and crispy to hard. For some perverse reason at least one UK-based crisp manufacturer has been labelling its packets sold in the UK "Potato Chips" (in the US sense) for a few years.
