Tony Exton's a man who knows his chips. The 68-year-old has racked up visits to nearly 3,000 different chippies in his lifetime - averaging one a week - so he couldn't let it pass when the Cod's Scallops opened just down the road from home.
Tony was the first in the queue when the new chippy in West Bridgford opened its doors today. He said: "Since the age of eight until now this will be my 2, 986th chip shop I've been to all over Britain, Jersey, Spain, everywhere - just 14 to my 3,000th.
"I love chips. I've been to all the chip shops across Nottingham. I have been in a couple of the other Cod's Scallops at Carrington and Wollaton - they are top, the taste of the chips and everything. They're beautiful. Now this is on my doorstep - help me! I've just lost 2st as well."
