In a ruling that's either genius or national sabotage, a UK tribunal has declared that takeaway chefs now have the *legal right to work from home*.

The decision followed a case brought by a grill chef in Doncaster who claimed he could “pan-fry from his patio.” The judge agreed, writing: “If accountants can work in thier underpants, why not chip friers?”

Evidence submitted included a Video Doorbell footage of a lasagne being made next to a Labrador and a trampoline.

The fallout has been spectacular. One furious kebab shop owner posted: “I spent £5k on a proper range. What now? £10k to teleport food from their flippin home kitchen?!”

“Do I deliver from a moped shed in my lounge now?”

Terry who likes the odd Chinese on a Friday called it a “wok-from-home disaster” and warned that the decision could “deep-fry what's left of Britain’s food culture.”

Internet Karen wasn't too happy: “No one should be deep-frying near soft furnishings.”

Social media is in meltdown. One user wrote: “At this rate, I'll order food online and I'll be told to go to someone's house to get it - what a joke”

What times we live in.
