'Peas-keeper'

Here's your new self-defense weapon "the peas-keeper" :-)
Brilliant teamwork, I'd say!

Story:
UK -- Two plucky pensioners foiled a chip shop robber with a bowl of mushy peas and a pan of boiling hot water, a court heard today.

The 21-year-old robber stormed in with a hammer and jumped over the counter of shop in Bolton, Greater Manchester.

The masked raider struck the 65-year-old male owner on the head and shoulder before his 61-year-old partner came into the room with a bowl of peas. She threw the peas at the robber causing him to slip over.

The robber got back to his feet and tried to open the cash till but was stopped in his tracks as the couple picked up a pan of water and launched it at him.

The raider ran out of the shop empty-handed and was later found to have suffered burns to his right arm, chest and neck, which needed hospital treatment.
