God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
Linky
A man who runs a fish and chip shop is being investigated by the council after someone complained that his shop smelt of -shock, horror- fish and chips.
Don't you just love modern Britain?

Even the council said that they weren't too sure what was going on, but were required to investigate. Non-story.

Council in a loose-loose situation. If they do they look like acting as part of a Nanny State. If they don't, well, they're not listening to their borough members.

Something fishy was going on at the shop.
Sorry, the pun was there and I took it. I am a sick person. :shame:

I think the problem is more with the idiot who complained about it in the first place-

Re: God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
If the person lodging the complaint moved in knowing of the restaurant, then it seems to me it is his/her problem, not the shop's. If the person was living there before the shop moved in, then maybe they have a legitimate complaint. It seems odd that an Englishman would complain about the smell of fish and chips - unless the person isn't English. :inquisitive:

Is this just part of the EU-ization of the UK ?
I've always wished Long John Silvers (the closest we get to fish-and-chips) smelt more like Burger King [:/sarcasm off:]

Nice excuse to “investigate” the restaurants menu a few dozen times on the Gov’s tab.~D

Re: God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
Well, at least it's a coherent argument.

We do have some weird people in Britain these days. I to presume that the reporter who reported the shop was from some far out country where they have never ever seen/smelt a fish and chip shop.

Unfortunately because Mr Morton is probably not a muslim running a kebab shop or indian take away, he can't pull out the race card on this one either! Otherwise he might have made some money for himself. :no:

Re: God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
HAHAHA bash Muslims! SO FUNNY.

Re: God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
No, not bashing muslims. I'm bashing the government and it's policy. This ridiculous fish and chip case wouldn't have occurred if the owner had been from an ethnic minority, particularly a muslim, whom of which the government is trying so desparately not to upset at home. Basically if anyone had complained about the smell at a kebab shop or takeaway they would have seen the situation turn around very quickly into a racial harrassment charge against them. How do I know this? Because I've seen it time and time again, and happen to live and work in such an environment. Ethnic minority groups are not at fault here, it's the government. The local councils simply have nothing better to do than mess about with cases such as this. As an example: It is common here for asians to utilise "blinged" up number plates on their cars and blacked out windows. The police can't stop them because it's 'racial harrassment', and they know it. There are districts near here where the air reeks of curry as you pass by. There is nothing you can do about it either.

stupid people ... Rotorua reeks of sulphur from all the geothermal activity but nobody complains (except for out-of-towners) that is because we accept it as part of the city. If someone moves in beside a sewage treatment plant are they going to lodge a complaint to the government. NO they chose to live there.
:dizzy2:
If you don't like it move, why must people be so stupid? :shame:

God, Gregoshi, we both need professional help. :sweatdrop:

Good to see you again Adrian. Yes, it seems that you do need help too. :laugh4:
Must...resist...further...puns...failing...
1) Adrian, either the plaintiff had a chip on his shoulder or he did it just for the halibut.
2) After being told of the complaint that his shop smelt of fish and chips, the shop owner told authorities, "You're crazy. I don't even sell smelt."
I'm a bad boy. :shame:

The guy obviously needs a herring aid!
Help me, aaaargggh!! :whip:

Perhaps he had a bone to pick with him. Maybe he over charged him by a few squid and he felt all at sea.

I think the complainant is just being shellfish.

Don't try and mussel in on the pun thread....:laugh4:
*Gets into taxi that RP so kindly called for me*

Re: God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
Clearly made up. The paper was struggling and clearly needed an extra story to fillet. That's the sole reason.
Any room in the taxi IA?

Oh sure, let's put the fish finger on the media.
Someone shoot us, please ... :wall:

Re: God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
Apparently the owners done a runner......he said in a statement to the authorities "I'm off, if they want to prosecute me then they'd have to findus first". :help:
-
Re: God that reeks! Awful smell of fish and chips.....from a fish and chip shop.
If the owner ran off, then he'd be admitting he's gill-ty. Maybe the fish was battered and the chips a salted.

Good point. Otherwise they'd be accused of letting him off the hook. ~D
