A salt and batter-y
Pub landlord fights off attackers without dropping his fish & chips...
Quote:
A pub landlord trained in martial arts has said he fought off four attackers without dropping his fish and chips.
John Wood, 37, said he was stabbed with a screwdriver while walking back to his car from Frank's fish and chip shop in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire.
Mr Wood, who runs a pub in Marshland St James in Norfolk, said he "disabled" two men by kicking them in the knees.

Quote:
Mr Wood said he drove home and ate his fish and chips - which he managed to keep in one hand the whole time without dropping anything - before telling his partner about the incident.
"I do feel lucky - if they had stabbed me one inch over it would have hit my liver and my lung and someone would have found me bleeding in an alleyway instead," he said.

Where's the video?
In this day and age there was no one to capture it on a mobile phone, really?

Oh dear:

"I wanted to withdraw the statement because they were beginning to question whether my fiancee had done it. Then they said 'was it you who was self-harming?' I'd just had enough of it.
"The attack did happen but because they (the police) didn't have a camera pointing at that exact spot it was a case that they were saying it didn't happen."

Re: A salt and batter-y
So they police cannot find anyone so they blame the victim for lying.
So if thats the case, a work colleges son poured petrol over himself and lit it then burned himself to death.

No when the Police cannot find a single shred of evidence to back up his story and the CCTV that covers the area cannot find any trace of victim or attacker and the victim admits his story was made up then they blame the victim for lying.

Re: A salt and batter-y
I did think it was odd (when I read the story a few weeks ago) that he said he hadn't dropped his fish and chips throughout the fight. Four against one & he doesn't use his hands?!

Maybe he was holding them with one hand? I can never hold my package with one hand though, it's too big
