When I came to Britain I was surprised how much you Britishers like Indian food. But I must tell you this food isn't really Indian - it is all cooked by Bangladeshis and most of the things on the menu you wouldn't even see in India. The other thing is the curry houses are never open for the breakfast - I cannot get my idli fry before I go to work like I can at home.

Ah, but can you get a full english at home?

Yes it's been refined to suit our palate, we like fatty sauce, lots of meat and big crisps.

It will be able to stay under water for long periods and thereby increase its chances of remaining undetected.

By contrast, India's ageing conventional diesel-powered submarines need to constantly surface to recharge their batteries

They must bloody old then, given the Germans had perfected the sn_orkel tube that allows the diesels to run underwater somewhere around the 1944 mark....

Not that the BBC could be talking out of its arrrse, surely not.

Did you also know that the food in the Chinese restaurants is nothing like what they eat in China?

Hmm, tricky one that. Have you considered learning to cook?

The value of Uk trade with India per year is about 4-5 billion and growing.

Could you imagine staying in an air tight container with 150 indians eating curry all day?

In my last bank I had to sit near the microwave, the place seriously honked of curry from 12 till 3 each day.

Easy solution.

Sabotage the Microwave.

And make sure the insides are full of dried out old curry skid marks, so they get the blame!

please tell me Gordon... WTF were you thinking?

Just the first stage in buttering up all those new 'British' voters we're inheriting. Don't forget, immigration doesn't worry New Labour.

I had some poppadoms with onion and lime pickle last night, very tasty too.

Also, time moves quicker in India. Only last week I was looking at the CV of an Indian chap who'd managed to acquire "4 years advanced experience of SQL Server 2008", it's quite remarkable

Although it has to be said, we in the UK don't lack agents or recruiters who believe these types of cvs in preference to home-grown "plodders"
