The people we'll be trining will have to be able to speak english as they will be dealing with customers from the UK over the phone, so hopefully that shouldent be too much of an issue

There was a curry house called "Curry Here" by me. They closed on account of health and safety.

I had an indian friend in school and I used to go over her house for authentic meals
Plus my father is friends with the owners of the local indian round here and they do special dishes for us sometimes =o)
When I was little I used to sit behind the counter and stuff my face with after 8's !!!

They used to be colonizised by the brittish, you know, so they speak good english, at least a lot of people do..
I went there in 2002. It's big as fuck. It's made up of a bunch of different cities, like 9 or 10.
New Delhi was made by the Brittish (at least under the British empire..). It's big avenues and not that crowded, a bit boring on the whole..
"Old Delhi" is just totally mental the first time you get there. Go to Jama Masjid, that's a big-as-fuck mosque, climb up the tower at look out over the mess. After that just brace yourself and enter the mosh pit..Old Delhi is narrow alleys filled to the brim with indians, cows, rikshas, cars, goats, dogs, fruit, trash, sweat, smoke, etc....almost devoid of tourists too..
It's pretty claustrophobic for a westener but everyone was really friendly and noone took the opportunity of pick-pocketing some rich europeans..A wicked experience all in all. Go to a barber shop and get a shave, get yourself a nice suit tailor made in 24 hours for almost nothing..
The old parts are a lot less english speaking than New Delhi..
The Delhi I saw wasn't full of foreigners at all, maybe it's different now in the summer..
It's sort of hard to find a good place to get drunk and for some mysterious reason you can't get a Big Mac..hehe..
