Ananova: Fish 'n' chips - the secret of long life?

A woman of 98 who's been frying fish and chips for 80 years says her longevity is down to never eating anything else.

Constance Brown, who has just been award the MBE, told the Daily Mirror. "That's all I eat. I don't eat any vegetables at all.

"So I'm living proof you can eat nothing but fish and chips and still be healthy."

Constance - always Connie to customers - still opens up Brown's Cafe in Pembroke, West Wales at 11.30am every day.

People live to that age in spite of what they do, not because of what they do.

Connie doesn't say how much fish and chips she eats a day.

I read a story about peak fish-and-chips recently. A bad potato harvest and a shortage of white fish have made fish and chips break the £5 barrier...
