A greased-lightning Edinburgh employer this month bagged a world productivity record when he wrapped 10 portions of chips in 60 seconds.

Proving that practical workplace training is the key to success, Sener revealed that he “did get in a bit of practice over the weekend”. And highlighting the value of experience, he put his wrapping speed down to 17 years of facing crowds of hungry post-pubbers and clubbers in Edinburgh every night. It was probably more down to being in the right plaice at the right time.
