MEMORY LANE 10 YEARS AGO: There’s nowt fishy about swift chippy

A NIPPY chippy worker scooped a Guinness World Record title for being the fastest at wrapping chips.

Swift Steph Celik packed five bags weighing 350g complete with salt and vinegar in just 58 seconds.

Steph (32) said: “It started as a bit of craziness. I had the idea of giving it a go and suggested it to my boss. She liked it and it all went from there.

“I don’t like waiting in a queue myself, so if I don’t find it very amusing I don’t think anyone else would.

“Someone had already attempted this record, so I needed to do all five bags of chips in under 60 seconds. I think I knew straight away that I’d managed it.

“A few customers have pointed out how quick I am, but others don’t really care as long as they’re fed.”

Mum-of-seven Steph has worked at Maltby’s Blue Whale fish and chip shop on and off for 19 years.

Her successful record attempt came during filming for CBBC show Officially Amazing, to be aired in March.
