Least he can take exams just like electrician and plumbers, I can't even do that.

If I give you my address will you send some over? There is a very lucrative market, I reckon, for a brit to come over here and make indian/chinese as served in the UK.

All the best.

The Indian thing I understand, but Chinese? The Chinese food here is the same if not better than anything I tasted in the UK. The Italian sausages here are outstanding as well. But yeah - no decent curries. Guess we'll have to wait till the Bangladeshis leave Britain in the depression and come over to Australia
