Corby

I've never seen the strange creations in Scotland, but its Northamptonshire offshoot, Corby, that has Chippies which are very happy to fry anything. Deep fried and battered Pizza anyone?

Corby has other claims to fame:

* The huge Stewarts and Lloyds Steel Works imported most of the original workforce from Scotland

* Biggest Highland Games, outside of Scotland

* Highest number of black cabs, outside of London

* Strangest frying habits, probably

* Persistently reappearing at the top of the "deaths by Covid" charts in the UK

* Highest death rate from preventable disease in the UK

I could go on, but it's probably a little unfair as I know quite a few nice people from there.
