Great Massingham caught drink-driving when he fancied a meal from chip van

A 70-year-old man said to be feeling lonely and isolated after the breakdown of his marriage was caught drink-driving at twice the limit near his home in Great Massingham.

Stephen Andrew Christmas had been wanting to get fish and chips from a van setting up on the green.

Prosecutor Denise Holland told Lynn Magistrates’ Court on Thursday that he was told it wasn’t open yet.
