A sex killer is demanding compensation – because his prison won't serve enough chips.
Graham Coutts, who is serving life for killing classical musician Jane Longhurst, says there aren't enough fries in a single portion.
And the compo grumble – which is Coutts' 12th – goes on to claim a lack of baked beans, too.

He whinged: "They've started rationing the portion size of chips. I'm going to do something about the kitchen's cavalier approach to providing a sufficient quantity of food."
He went on to cite 1999 prison rules, adding: "Case number 12 is being drafted."
The 51-year-old detailed the gripe on a blog he runs from prison, published by a pal on the outside.

Coutts, from Leven, Fife, is at HMP Wakefield – dubbed Monster Mansion as it is home to some of Britain's worst criminals.
He has been fighting to be transferred to a prison in Scotland to be closer to his mother.
The move was approved in March 2018 but has yet to take place as the Scottish Prison Service said their jails are full.
The killer told followers on his blog: "I'm still trapped in the nightmarish abyss that is HMP Wakefield.
"I have made an FOI request to find out how many prisoners have been transferred to Scotland since 2018."
His previous claims include alleging that prison chiefs lost or deleted CDs containing 29 of his self-penned songs.
Coutts killed Jane, 31, in Brighton in 2003.
The Prison Service said it "robustly defended claims".
