The Codfather: UK's oldest chip show owner is still serving aged 91
Britain's oldest chip shop owner is still serving AGED 91 and says he has no plans to retire. Sprightly John Panayis has spent more than 60 years in the food industry and still works seven hour shifts, five days a week. Despite his impressive age, he’s showing no signs of slowing down and continues to fry fish and batter sausages at Nick's Plaice in Northampton, UK. John took over the chip shop in 2009 when he was aged 75 and handed over the business to his son Nick five years ago. He had planned to step back but found he missed working so much and was bored at home so he returned to behind the frying counter.
