    tomatoes x 4
    green pepper x 2

    Rs .15 = 0.12p bargin
    Wow.

    That's fine - we can wait until it's finished - how much is Red Bull and Champagne over there?

      Was in Goa a few years ago.

      Don't eat the chicken, and I'm not sure if the meat in the mutton curry really is/was sheep...

        I will have to check, but drink is cheap here, they pore very large measures. It also depends on where you go some places large bottle of Kingfisher larger 0.50p

        I eat where the locals eat, decor is a bit transport cafe, food is good "fish curry rice Rs .35 lassie Rs .10, so about 0.50p for lunch.

        So you could have lunch with drink £1

            Your maths is wrong:

            curry = 50p
            beer = 50p x 10 = £5

            So lunch for £5.50, or £5.00 if you forget the curry.

            Also, they serve Lassie? They can't do that! Who's going to save the little boy stuck at the bottom of the well?

              How have you worked around India's constraints on foreign owned property? Did you set up a company?
