True, but even in then amounts (late 80s), it was very difficult for me
to get a decentl meal in Delhi for £1.

Sums up most backpackers I've met. They either have iron constitutions or
spend most of their gap year or whatever in the crapper. To be sure, I like
the majority of Indian food and eat at both fancy restaurants and scruffy
local places - I draw the line at the "Chinese" chuck wagons found by the
roadside in major Indian cities.
While sparing you the details, I often have the opposite problem when I go,
say, to the US: the largely bland food renders my system immobile. Didn't
have that problem in Greece ... could be the preponderance of vegetables and
greens.
By the way, is there still such a thing as European street food, apart from
chestnuts?

Sounds like the African restaurant in the old town in Linz. We've tried to
eat there 3 times and never actually got served before leaving.
Ok, one of the times, the chef was having a fight with someone in the
kitchen and had to get taken away in an ambulance.

theres talk of putting the north bank road on the Thames underground,
it would presumably have to be a full on tunnel, given the proximity

It's common everywhere in India but Bombay.
I spend time in Goa and Vasai as well and the power going off is a regular
event.
In Vasai it's regular power shedding at known times, in Goa the power just
goes now and again when the usage is too high in an area.
The reason Bombay is the economic powerhouse of India is because foreign
firms can operate there in conditions that are not too different from home.
No Western banking operation will tolerate an electricity supply that comes
and goes at random intervals...
It's 'branch in Delhi, main office and big computers in Bombay'.

Try Mahim or Villa Parle in Bombay.
The surroundings may be a bit shabby but the food will be excellent just
about everywhere.
You can get excellent Dhosa in fashionable Bandra for less than 75p
Bombay food is very cheap and very good.
Of course if you're at Juhu Beach or staying in Colaba or Fort you pay
tourist prices...
But lunch at the Taj Palace Hotel is only £12...

Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
