Caught on camera: The moment a shopkeeper fought off knife-wielding robbers... by throwing a cup of tea over them (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1093804/Caught-camera-The-moment-shopkeeper-fought-knife-wielding-robbers--throwing-cup-tea-them.html)
This incredible footage shows a fearless woman shopkeeper tackling two knife-wielding robbers - armed with just a cup of tea.
Brave Varsha Patel, 45, was behind the counter of her village store when two balaclava-wearing men armed with 10 inch blades burst into the shop and made a grab for the till.
With lightning-fast reactions Mrs Patel threw a mug of steaming tea in the face of one assailant and launched the empty mug at his companion's head.
As she stepped back to grab a bottle of whisky to hurl at them the two shocked thieves fled the shop, with just a scratch card dispenser as loot.
Police praised the decisive action of quick-thinking Mrs Varsha, who describes herself as 'no shrinking violet'.
The incident happened just after 11am on Tuesday in Kensworth Village Store in Kensworth, Bedfordshire, which Varsha has run with her husband Yogesh, 50, for the last 20 years.
Video at link. Don't be messing with no lady with hot tea is the lesson for today.

They were flaky on the outside and cinnamony on the inside. :-)
