The police have been forced to remind people not to contact them during the KFC chicken shortage.
The closure - which has now gone on for five days - was caused by issues with a new delivery contract with DHL, but Scotland Yard have been forced to release a statement after they received multiple "nuisance calls" regarding the meat dilemma.
Officers in London issued a reminder not to bother to police with the problem with the Tower Hamlets force writing on Twitter: "Please do not contact us about the #KFCCrisis - it is not a police matter if your favourite eatery is not serving the menu that you desire. (sic)"
KFC said in a statement: "We've brought a new delivery partner on board, but they've had a couple of teething problems - getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is pretty complex.
"We won't compromise on quality, so no deliveries has meant some of our restaurants are closed and others are operating a limited menu, or shortened hours.
"We know that this might have inconvenienced some of you over the last few days, and disappointed you when you wanted your fried chicken fix - we're really sorry about that.
"The chicken chain gave a 'shout out' to its restaurant teams, who the company said were 'working flat out to get us back up and running again.'"
KFC usually leaves a bitter after taste in my mouth. I have it every once in a blue moon to remind me why I don’t eat there any more.

BLAME TRUMP!
This is NOT and emergency!!! I repeat... This is NOT and emergency!!!
During WWII, England slaughtered all the chickens to save on grain.
If I were the police, I would give them Reba McIntire’s personal phone number. I’d make her go through as much pain and suffering as the rest of us do when the stupid ads run. Just when I thought the Colonel Sanders impersonations couldn’t get worse, along comes Reba.

Silly! Those are Squab!
They should have. :D
Union Action:
Rugby councils statement said inspectors were satisfied with DHLs food safety processes, including temperature control, date coding, food handling and associated record-keeping. They didnt observe any out-of-date chicken or other foods.
The GMB union warned KFC last October that it would face supply problems when it decided to switch its deliveries from Bidvest Logistics to DHL.
Mick Rix, the GMBs national officer, said he told KFC that it could face a repeat of supply problems that had hit Burger King when it dropped Bidvest Logistics in favour of DHL six years ago.
OK, that was funny.
Not too far from the truth.
CO is LOST!
Darn, ya beat me to it!
Love that horrible movie!
