A man has appeared in court accused of stealing a packet of crisps worth £1.25.

Patrick McDonagh (37) of Erne Park, Kesh, appeared at Enniskillen Magistrate's Court on Thursday.

He is facing a single charge of theft, whereby he is accused of stealing crisps to the value of £1.25 from Lakeside Service Station on April 30 of this year.

Translation: "crisps" are what Americans call "chips".

State of journalism today. WHAT FUCKING FLAVOUR WERE THE CRISPS?

Well we can do some detective work. It was £1.25 so not a standard pack of Walkers but also not a big bag of kettle chips.

Now the price may be a clue, as that's the price on a 72g packet of Monster Munch and we all know what the best flavour is, so the answer is:

big reveal

Good work, Holmes. And surely no jury in the land would convict for such an understandable crime!
