Delivery Driver Gets Held Hostage After Delivering Cold Kabab
The Rolling Stones said it best, “you can’t always get what you want.” When that happens, it’s best to stay calm and understand that things don’t always go your way. What you don’t want to do is hold those responsible hostage. That’s what happened in the United Kingdom when a delivery driver was held hostage for delivering a cold kebab.
After their delivery driver gave them what they considered a cold kebab, they decided to take the delivery driver hostage for hours, according to Metro UK.
The two men barricaded themselves in along with the victim, according to reports. The stand off reportedly lasted for 14 hours.
While waiting, they decided to take to Facebook to complain to police about how the driver failed at his job because the kebab they ordered was late, cold, and they didn’t receive the salad they had ordered, the report says.
Paul Burton and Nathan Turner confronted the driver when he arrived with their food and trapped him using a coffee table, Metro UK says.
When police arrived to the scene, Burton threatened them, according to reports. Negotiators attempted to resolve the issue, but Burton then fired a shot at a police car, which almost hit a dog handler.
Eventually, the pair gave in and surrendered. Burton was reportedly jailed for seven years after pleading guilty. Turner was sentenced to 20 months behind bars.
According to Metro UK, Superintendent Steve Ashdown told local news agencies, “I was in a two-way dialogue with the negotiator. They tell me what’s happening from their perspective. There were one or two moments where she could gain their trust.”
Metro UK reports Ashdown went on to say, “Like with every other firearms incident, there is a sense of achievement and relief at a successful resolution. All the residents were kept safe and no officers came to harm, which is not always a guarantee for police officers, sadly. There was a sense of professional pride.”
All residents were safe during the standoff and nobody was injured. No word on what ended up happening with the cold kebab.
5 Best Fast Food Items On The Value Menu
Today, there are seemingly unlimited options in the fast food landscape. You have options for burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and more. Anything you want you can have. When you’re on-the-go and looking for a quick bite, there’s nothing better than the value menu. Every fast food restaurant has one. Here are the best fast food items on the value menu.
We all know that fast food is appealing because of its low price and easy access. With prices for combos on the rise, I find myself looking at the value menu more often than ever before. I need to save where I can!

Best Of The Best
I have spent so much time in drive-thrus that I think I could be considered an expert witness in a court case, at this point. I’ve seen delicious items come and go, prices climb, and experiences all the promos and deals. Why did KFC get rid of the Twister? When will McDonald’s bring back the famous Snack Wraps? These are all questions I ask every day, and sadly have no answers for. However, one day…we will get them back. I truly believe it in my heart of hearts.
I could go on and on about my love for the value menu. I’d say at least once a week I think back on my high school days when the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger from Wendy’s was only 99 cents. Do you remember that? 99 cents! It was amazing. Now, the price for one JBC is closer to $3 than it is 99 cents. I feel like this is the new version of that old “back in my day, we’d walk 2 miles to school up hill both ways! stories your grandparents would tell. Now, these stories are all about how low the value menu prices were back in our day. “When I was your age, every item on the dollar menu was a dollar!”
After years of research, I’ve finally identified the best of the best when it comes to value menus. On this list, you’ll find burgers, chicken sandwiches, tacos, and even some items that fall into the ‘miscellaneous’ category. Without further delay, let’s get to the list!

It never misses. Of all the value menu chicken sandwiches, none are better than the McChicken.

The new menu, dubbed the Dollar Menu and More, will offer some higher priced options such as the grilled Onion Cheddar Burger and a McChicken sandwich.
