LOCAL knowledge can go a long way for small businesses.

Seconds from the final whistle of Monday's Blues v Newcastle match, this clean, bright shop was ghostly quiet.

The puzzled, friendly staff didn't even know the game was live on TV so I suggested there might soon be a mini rush from fans.

My reward for such hot information was an 80p cone of good-tasting chips. But, weighing just 250g on my in-car scales, they were barely lukewarm on the night of their big test. Just like Blues!
