The Continuing Adventures Of Hop-A-Long Mills

She has never been one to shy away from controversy.

So when Heather Mills decided to buy a popular fish restaurant near her home, her first move was obvious:

Take fish off the menu.

Miss Mills plans to turn the seaside eaterie into a vegan restaurant, believed to be the first in a planned worldwide chain.

And there was bad news for staff as well as seafood-loving clientele: the current owner has laid them off and told them they will not be re-employed when the renovated cafe re-opens.

Miss Mills, 41, signed the deal to take over the Big Fish Cafe near her home in Hove, East Sussex, on Friday.

After initially agreeing to part with £255,000, Miss Mills, who clinched a £24million settlement in her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney, forced the price down to £140,000.

Former owner Nick Short said about the price fall: 'I have been well and truly worked over by Heather.'

Yep, it has all of the required elements to be true Heather Mills:

The former owner got the shaft.

The employees got kicked to the curb.

Town loses a favorite fish place.

Pie-in-the-sky “worldwide chain” claim.

It’s Vegan.

Stay tuned for the high drama end to this project – it’s coming. Peg never disappoints.
