Pensioner Branded 'Moron' over Chip Pan Fire

A Bredbury pensioner has been branded a 'Moron' by Fire Chief Aiden McGarry over a recent chip pan fire.

A fire engine was called to Arthur Chasuble's (87) maisonette at 23:30 hours on Monday, after neighbours reported 'billowing smoke, like you get when you set fire to a chip pan'.  After breaking down Mr Chasuble's front door, they found the kitchen engulfed in flames, while Mr Chasuble was lying prone in the front room, after having a 'nightcap'.

Neighbours reported that local character Chasuble frequently makes himself a quick pan of chips after a night at the British Legion, and always requires rescuing by the Fire Service.

Fire Chief Aiden McGarry said "The man's an utter Moron.  We've been called out a dozen times to extinguish his chip pan, and we only came out this time because the head of the Fire Service made us.'

Celebrity Chef Heston Blumenthal added 'The best way to cook chips, is to fry them three times, freezing them after the first, cool fry.  But never do this when pissed after the British Legion'.

Mr Chasuble commented 'I just like my chips.'
