    Customer "Battered" In Chip Shop Row

    was the headline I spotted on a billboard outside a local newsagents' premises in town yesterday.

    Can't find a link to this story anywhere, though.

    Hmm ... something fishy going on here, ...

    ... you couldn't make it up ... or could you?

    Well ... ... someone has!

    Ahh ... ditto! Alas, due to my need to take statins, I'm not supposed to eat fried chips and - since I don't fancy the oven/grill-baked ones - I'm left with a bit of "a chip on my shoulder"!

    Hmm ... possibly Andy, or some disgruntled Labour supporter - who just saw RED - because of "the chip on his shoulder" ...

    If my name was Chip, I'd open a Fish & Chip shop and call it Chip's. When apostrophe pedants came in to complain, I'd teach them a valuable lesson about assumptions!

    If I might be permitted another chance to "chip~in" ... I'd reckon the assailant was some insignificant 'wee tiddler' who simply didn't know his pla(i)ce!

    Moreover ... in punching above his weight, he was unaware of just how heavily the scales of justice might bear down on him.

    Reminds me of a story in the local newspaper some years ago. There was a long queue in the chippy, so this guy walks in naked.
    He got served VERY quickly.

    Apparently apart from one older woman who tutted, everyone else in the queue thought it was really funny.

    Not going to try this.........it's too cold for a start!
