I remember witnessing a completely out of control punch up in a chip shop in Abersychan, around 1979-1980. A pissed up local hooligan and utter nasty bastard attempting to put someone’s face in a fat fryer. He was stopped in the Nick of time by an old time local copper who staffed him into unconsciousness, cuffed him, dragged him outside and flung him into the back of a van....containing a police dog! Ah, the good old days.
