Video footage of a colossal brawl in a Portsmouth kebab shop has gone viral – because of the one person in the shop who didn’t get involved.

Chris Hill, a 52-year-old facilities manager, was intent on enjoying his late night snack and he was completely unruffled as two customers engaged in an epic fistfight with the half dozen or so staff of Ken's Kebabs on Albert Road, Portsmouth.

Chris, who had stopped at Ken’s for a snack ofter a few pints at the pub, said: “I turned to see a man and shop worker throwing things at each other and then this tall guy kicked the food counter.”

But Chris, wisely, chose not to get mixed up in the royal rumble.

'I thought about moving at one point but I was enjoying my kebab and chips,” he told Mail Online,”although the chips weren't very nice.”

Chris’s classically British sang-froid has turned him into an instant meme, with dozens of social media users describing him as a ‘legend.’

Hoppy tweeted “The Equaliser’s just checking his texts to see if he’s needed on this one” whole MakeItKaze just said “Continued to eat: THIS MAN IS A LIVING LEGEND.”

Gary Frank thought Chris might be the leader we all needed right now: “The guy munching while it’s all ****ing off needs to be President of the Earth,”and Magyar Tousi summed up most people’s feelings when he said: “Loving the guy sitting down, eating his kebab.

"He won’t let a random fight win his dinner. This is what being British is all about!”
