Fish and chip fans waited in line for more than two hours and some bought food to freeze
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.
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'."I've been going there for 30 years - the food is just amazing," she explained. "It's so different to anybody else's, especially the pea fritters, his gravy, his chicken curry. It's just amazing food.
The eatery stayed with her as she moved into adulthood and began to visit it not only for her supper, but also for a much-needed bite after a night at the pub. She said she's happy to see the owners retire, but is 'gutted' the shop is closing. "People in the queue were saying they were going to buy the food and freeze it and sell it - that's how much people love it," she said. "The queues have been massive for the past two weeks, they're going right down the road."
