No, no, no.  Mushy peas are not peas that are over cooked.  Mushy peas 
are a vegetable unto themselves.  Utterly unique, not to mention 
Ambrosia, when served with (proper, deep fried) fish and chips (fries, 
not crisps).

Mushy peas are marrowfat peas, which are peas that are dried naturally, 
then soaked in water, heated with a little sugar and salt, and served as 
a sort of thick grey-green soup with peas in it.  The thicker, the 
better.
