Hmmmm. 

Crabby survived the place and went back every year.

But..

I worked with someone years back. His parents were Ugandan Asians and they ended up in Canada I think. Anyway Suresh had never been to India. He may never have been in Uganda either - I never asked. We were both working in Slough and getting a lift with him once was amusing - he was cursing all the Pakistani drivers and pedestrians in very non-PC terms but I digress... His father or maybe grandfather had died and there is some ritual where the bung the ashes in the Ganges. Before he could go there were several injections everybody has to have before they can. So off he went for I think it was a week. I didn't see him again for 3 months as he was so ill it was that long before he came back and by the look of him another month wouldn't have gone amiss. Those Indians in India must be some tough buggers.

Blimey Alex!    

I think I'll make my own now.

I bet some of the best restaurants and hotels in this country have some (dirty) kitchens..
We would have a shock if we knew what went on behind some doors..
I bet they don't all wash their hands after going to the toilet..
 I won't be buying any cookies...

I have thought about that many times, recalling the number of visits to Bradford curry houses!

What has always bothered me is these vans you see, often in market squares or outdoor events,    selling Hot dogs/Burgers, that sort of thing -  and even Ice Cream vans.
Where do they go to the toilet  -  and I don't mean  just a pee either?!    Do they wash their hands afterwards?

Once, probably about 20 or more years ago now,  I was horribly ill and it turned out to be Campylobactor.
A day or two before it started I had eaten a hot dog from a van on St. Neots market.   Made me wonder . . . .
I have never eaten anything from one of these vans since.
