The Cod Father
A name play on The Godfather, the 1969 novel and later films of a Sicilian Mafia family in New York City from 1945 to modern times. The title is also apt due to the Cod Wars of Iceland and Britain in the 1950s -70s over declining fish stocks. After a compromise in 1976, Iceland finally won in 1994 - when the UN ratifed Economic Exclusion Zones of 200 nautical miles.

From the 1920s, a 99 has soft ice cream and a chocolate Flake. The 99 name is of uncertain origin. 

 An upmarket interior. The majority of takeaways have at least a small cafe too.
