RETIRING ambulance man Mal Jackson has never had a day off in 36 years. He credits this remarkable record to his regular meal of Yorkshire fish and chips.
This is good news for chip lovers everywhere. The revelation yesterday that one in three British men love fatty foods led to dire warnings about their future health. Mal's obvious well-being challenges such gloomy findings.
However, the traditional fish and chip meal is under threat from savage cuts in European fish quotas thrashed out today.
Euro ministers do not seem to realise the health of our ambulance fleet - as well as our trawler fleet - is in their hands.
