IT’S no picnic for Brits — as the traditional outside meal is being replaced by takeaways, a survey claims.
Chips, pizza, fried chicken and kebabs are said to be taking over al fresco dining.

A survey revealed more than a third (35 per cent) orders their outdoor grub from a local takeaway or restaurant.
