Residents evacuated in chip shop fire
DOZENS of residents had to be evacuated after a chip shop caught fire on a Southampton estate.
Twenty-five fire fighters were last night called out to tackle the blaze at the chippy in a parade of eight shops in Townhill Way.
Ten flats above the shops and an Indian restaurant were evacuated. The alarm was raised at 9.15pm.
Firefighters from Hightown, St Mary's and Redbridge stations went to the fire. The cause is under investigation.

It is Eastleigh not Southampton
Townhill is neither in Eastleigh, nor Greater Eastleigh although parts are in Eastleigh administrative borough.
So it is perfectly correct to describe it as a "southampton estate".

Thankyou boobooj, beer is sometimes used instead of water because the bubbles in the beer will add body and lightness to the batter. We sometimes used carbonated water.

Do shut up with stupid comments like this. Not even funny.
I suspect you are just bitter that you'll have to walk a bit further for you're jumbo sausage and chips for a while :-D
I think I smell a bu**sh*ter...

Then after reading a lot of the Carps comments on hear has made me a bit peckish so i will pop of to west end and get some grub from there it was voted the best chippie in england but then for you lot wallowing around in your ponds you dont seem to travel much.For the record i live in Mansbridge thats on the outskirts too as a rule of thumb those that live left of the A27 Mansbridge road from Gaters mill upwards are Eastliegh/Westend those to the right are Southampton right up to Tesco Burseldon road.
