It was shocking news for the southside of Cork city and for those who had grown up with some of the best chips ever to tumble out of a deep fat fryer - after more than 7 decades, the legendary Jackie Lennox's chipper is to close its doors this week.

Make sure to let us know your choice and if you think your family and friends will have an opinion - share it with them!.
