Anyone who's spent any time in Cardiff will be familiar with the Hades-on-Earth that is Caroline Street.

Otherwise known as "Chip Alley", it's a thoroughfare of chippies, kebab shops and pizza places that can diplomatically be described as "lively" after the pubs shut.

It's a genuine slice of Cardiff history, and so I was delighted to receive everyday story of Caroline Street folk involving an assault with a carton of curry. Mind you, six months in the slammer does seem a bit excessive.

Which reminds me of my favourite Cardiff joke....How can you tell when a Cardiff girl has had an orgasm?.....She drops her chips.
