Brits love a queue - or so the legend goes - and it was proved true this week, as one Trafford chippy prepares to close its doors after 30 years of serving the community.
Customers have been queueing for more than two hours to get a final taste of Kong's Fish and Chips in Flixton, as the owners of the eatery hang up their aprons and retire. It's a bittersweet moment for their regulars - many of whom have grown up with the chip shop as a frequent feature in their lives.
Sharon Miskimin, 45, has lived in Flixton all her life. She told the Manchester Evening News that she queued for two-and-a-half hours yesterday evening to get her last ever Kong's chippy tea - but said it was 'well worth the wait'.
