A chipper has fulfilled a strange request from a customer a little under the weather.

But it wasn't a fish supper she was after from Feeley's chip shop in west Belfast.

In the notes to the driver on the order, the customer said:

"Will you please stop in Spar on the way and get me Benylin cold and flu tablets and I'll give you the money, only ordering food so I can get the tablets, I'm dying sick xx [sic]."

And Feeley's replied: "Good to see my customers making use of the "add comments" section!!!!! Words absolutely fail me".

But the chippy came through for her, posting a picture of the cold medicine on its Facebook page.
