Never mind fighting - Saturday Night's Alright for FRYING, if you're Sir Elton John.
Staff at Francine's fish and chip shop in North Prospect were thrilled when a local runner working for the star rang to order a pre-concert meal for Sir Elton and some of his entourage.
Owner Francine Baker said: "She phoned up before the show and ordered 12 portions of cod and chips for Elton and his crew, with Elton's fish having to be wrapped separately because he doesn't like the fish in with the chips.
"She told us Elton has a French chef who tours with him, but he just fancied fish and chips.
"She arrived in a huge people carrier and paid the £48 bill with a new £50 note.
"I threw in a free bottle of vinegar, 12 portions of mushy peas and a tub of salt.
"If Elton had signed the £50 note, I'd have framed it and hung it on the wall."
The well-wrapped meal was whisked back to Home Park in minutes and obviously did the trick, as Sir Elton rocked through his back catalogue of hits in fine style to an audience of 22,000.
