A Unique Use for Fish and Chips

They won't let decent people have guns in Britain, so they are reduced to improvising their weapons:

A chip shop worker faced with an armed robber scared him off by waving a fish slice dripping in hot fat.

Malcolm Butters, 63, was closing up the Green Lane Fish Bar in Acomb, York, when he was confronted by a man carrying a gun and demanding money.

Mr Butters said: "I got my fish slice, dipped it in the hot fat and waved it at him, hoping the fat would come off and get him."

The hooded man then ran out of the shop empty-handed, Mr Butters said.

"You can have my breaded cod when you pull it from my cold, malt vinegar soaked fingers!"
