Online food reviewer visits Warrington to try legendary town centre takeaway
Danny Malin, a YouTube food vlogger with a channel by the name of Rate My Takeaway, journeyed to the town to sample Danny's Kitchen.
He said the venue was rumoured to be Luke Littler's favourite Chinese takeaway – although The Nuke disputed this TikTok.
Malin's channel is renowned for its candid reviews and characteristic table and chair setup, earning him more than 770,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Having made a career out of reviewing British takeaways, he made a stop in Warrington town centre to try the legendary Danny's Kitchen.
When walking to the shop, he asked some locals their opinion on Danny's Kitchen, to which they replied: 'A delicacy.'
He ordered a mixed meal, including beef satay and battered chicken with sweet and sour sauce.

During his meal, he had many interactions with the people of Warrington, who all shared their praise for the takeaway place.
His opinion of the sweet and sour chicken seemed initially to be one of disappointment, stating: 'It looks like it's going to be crispy, but it's quite soft.
'The sweet and sour sauce, it tastes like a watered-down ketchup.'
However, upon returning to the meal, he said: 'The batter on it is quite soft and I like that.'
However, the beef satay was the star of the show.
Despite revealing his apprehension about what he regarded as a gravy-like appearance, he concluded: 'It's actually quite delicious that sauce if I'm honest.'

'Brian Potter' kicks off over three-month wait to get a sinkhole repaired
Brian Potter's voice is even higher than usual. The Bolton nightclub owner is fuming about a hole in the road. The sinkhole appeared on May 4 and despite dozens of phone calls to Bury Council and United Utilities it has still not been fixed. Now Potter - alias Connor O'Brien, a resident of Wingate Drive in Whitefield - has made a video demanding action. Trained as an actor he has the Peter Kay character's squeaky tones down to a tee. But his message and those of fellow residents in the cul-de-sac is serious. They believe the hole is dangerous and delivery vans to the long road have been unable to get access due to the cavity being surrounded by barriers.

I don't care who's to blame, right, we want a response now". In the clip he is then seen in the hole on top of his wheelchair, and says "Christ almighty look what's happened. I was driving my chair and fell in - get it sorted." Connor said: "What motivated me to do it was how much upset it has caused my neighbours in the street. Residents were getting wound up and no one seemed to be taking responsibility for it. I am not very academic, so instead of writing emails I thought the only way I can help is injecting a bit of light hearted banter on social media. "I was given a wheelchair through a theatre company. I think Potter's message to Bury Council and United Utilities would be 'get my hole filled in. Potter's barmy army, you have got to be on it.' "It is a bit of comedy but there is a serious message. The cavity is falling in and it is a danger to pedestrians and drivers. I have and agent and went to drama school in London but actually worked in stage management in the West End. Then I went on the cruise ships as a host and thought I would never work backstage again." Resident Sue Stott has kept a diary of the "farce" involving the hole. It was discovered by children on May 4th and reported to Bury council the next day. Bury council sent out a team on June 3rd who said it was a "sewer" problem. The council did replace a bollard placed around the hole after it was clipped and damaged by a lorry trying to get past. Sue's diary records numerous phone calls from several neighbours to both the council and United Utilitiesover the last three months. In one entry for July 1st a member of staff from United Utilities said they had been given no notice of the work by the council. A team from United Utilities did come out on July 18th but the hole has still not been repaired. Three local councillors and MP Christian Wakeford have contacted both the council and United Utilities in a bid to get the job done. Sue said: "People in the street did think of stopping paying their council tax and United Utilities bills. But although they are not helping us, we didn't want to break the law. "I spoke to United Utilities this week. I said I wanted to put in a complaint and he said he would ring me back by Thursday (this week). I said do you realise the hole is in-filling. It is coming from the sides and therefore the tarmac underneath on either side could be going down. This is a dangerous hole. He said he would upgrade it and be back to me by 8pm tonight." Yesterday one resident had to put the barriers back in place as they had been blown down by heavy winds. "But vehicles going past are nudging them into the hole to get through," said Sue. "There must be some conversation between them (the council and United Utilities) to ease getting it done. Why is there not a system in place for communication? Talk to each other." A couple of hours after the Manchester Evening News made inquiries about the fiasco workmen from United Utilities arrived at the hole and erected different yellow barriers with the notice "We're working on the sewer pipes". But no work commenced. Join the Manchester Evening News WhatsApp group HERE A spokesperson for Bury Council said: "It is not for us to fix. United Utilities have accepted responsibility." In a message on social media United Utilities have told one resident in the street: "Hi, thank you for getting in touch. I have just been speaking with another resident in the area about the same issue. We're currently planning a date for us to carry out the repairs, and the job reference is 07899881. Thanks." But the resident replied:"You now appear to accept responsibility but give no timeline to repair, it's already been 3 months!!! This is an accident waiting to happen, photo taken today showing the barriers moved in the wind leaving open hole which could easily been missed in the dark!" A United Utilities spokesperson said: 'We apologise to residents of Wingate Drive for the delay in dealing with this and for any inconvenience caused. Our team has attended this afternoon to carry out further investigations and get our safety barriers in place to ensure the necessary repair work can be delivered as quickly as possible.'

Movie Review: Kristin Scott Thomas directs Scarlett Johansson in comedic drama 'My Mother's Wedding'
Before Kristin Scott Thomas turned 12, she lost her father and stepfather. Both were Royal Navy pilots who died in crashes. The first happened when she was 5. The second at age 11. Thomas uses these facts, a kind of origin story, as the basis for her directorial debut, 'My Mother's Wedding,' a comedic drama about family, trauma and getting on with it that opens in theaters Friday. Knowing that the story comes from a real place is important for the experience. It gives 'My Mother's Wedding,' a perfectly average film that doesn't quite land the way it should, an emotional depth that it's otherwise lacking. This is a strange shortcoming considering the caliber of the cast, including Thomas as the bride to be, and Sienna Miller, Emily Beecham and Scarlett Johansson as her daughters. But it's a cruel reminder that a good hook, talented actors, one killer monologue and a picturesque setting (in this case, the English countryside) aren't guarantees that a movie will work. In the film, the deaths may be in the distant past, but they continue to haunt Diana's (Thomas) adult daughters as she prepares to marry another. Diana's new man is not a dashing pilot, forever preserved in handsome youth. Geoffrey (James Fleet) is very gray. He likes to talk about birds, ospreys in particular, has never had children and comes with a very silly last name (Loveglove) that she plans to take. Her girls are not exactly impressed, though they've all got their own stuff to deal with. It should be said that Johansson is indeed playing a British woman in this film, and while I don't feel qualified to comment on the nuances of her accent, all I can say is that there is a consistently strange disconnect to hear it coming out of her mouth. Johansson is a great actor who I've believed in many wilder roles, from Marvel movies right on down to her Ellen Greene riff during 'Saturday Night Live's' 50th anniversary show. But, somehow, she's hard to buy as Katherine Frost: A British, lesbian Royal Navy officer in a longtime relationship with a woman named Jack (played by fellow beauty Freida Pinto). Miller's character is Victoria, a Hollywood actor known for franchise dreck (no one can remember whether the latest 'Dame Of Darkness' is the fourth or fifth in the series) and short-lived relationships. And Beecham is the youngest Georgina, a nurse who suspects that her husband is having an affair. To find out, the girls hire a private detective to surveil her house and show them the footage after the wedding. It's a very busy, fraught weekend for everyone. There's lots of fretting over why Katherine won't marry Jack, and why Victoria is dancing around a relationship with a wealthy, older French man when her childhood crush still pines for her. There's lingering anxiety about their mom marrying this man who seems so unlike the two heroes that came before and much discussion about the importance of last names, marriage and making sure kids feel like they belong to someone. Some things get resolved, but it's hard to shake the feeling that everyone might need a new therapist by the end. 'My Mother's Wedding' also has a silly lightness to it that's aiming for something along the lines of a Richard Curtis romantic comedy. But coherency of the vision is limited, as is the audience's investment, though there are some lovely and inspired touches like using Iranian artist Reza Riahi to hand paint several animated flashback vignettes based on her memories of her fathers. Thomas co-wrote the script with her husband, journalist John Micklethwait, which includes a particularly poignant monologue for her character telling her daughters, essentially, to grow up and move on — a mature and worthy statement that might come a bit too late. 'My Mother's Wedding' feels only partially realized. But Thomas did have the good sense to end with a song that might just conjure up some feelings for any 'Heartburn' fans out there: Carly Simon's 'Coming Around Again,' this time a duet with Alanis Morissette. 'My Mother's Wedding,' a Vertical release in theaters Friday, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association for 'brief nudity, some sexual material and language.' Running time: 95 minutes. Two stars out of four.

Terry Reid did so much more than not join Led Zeppelin
Let's get the story out of the way. Terry Reid, 19 and beautiful and full of range, soul and energy, gets approached by his pal, Yardbirds guitarist Jimmy Page. I'm forming a band, Page tells him, and I'd like you to be my singer. Thanks, Reid responds, but I've got me own gigs to think about. Opening for Cream and the Rolling Stones. Recording for Mickie Most. But I've got this pal … his name is Robert.
