Birmingham Post has issued a correction regarding an article published on 1 June 2026. The original piece incorrectly stated that 'Thousands of fish & chip shops set to close as customers face £3.50 rule'. The publication now clarifies that the £3.50 rule was a reference to increased prices, not a regulatory measure causing closures.
Clarification of the £3.50 Rule
The article has been amended to reflect that the £3.50 figure pertains to price rises affecting customers, not a rule imposed on fish and chip shops. The correction aims to prevent misinterpretation about the cause of potential closures in the industry.
We regret the error and appreciate readers bringing it to our attention. The updated article is available for review.
