Eats mangoes, drinks Vimto. Bangladesh Tigers-supporting Salford Red. Wishes the Force was with him. Walthamstow via Salford.
Ok, the kachchi biryani is the star, but this and borhani are /the/ accompaniments, followed by firni now unfortunately very rarely served in clay bowls.

British airports...the absolute worst thing about travelling! Gatwick a particularly bad example. And lounges are a scam. There's no point having Priority Pass or DragonPass as the lounges are always full.

And #mango season is back in #Walthamstow! The first of the season is a box of kesars. As always bought from Neelam Mangoes, 486 Hoe Street, Walthamstow E17 9AH #MangoMadness

My first visit to the UK Civil Service's Darlington Economic Campus to talk to apprentices, and others, from the Office for National Statistics and other departments about why we set up the Government Economic Service Applied Economics Degree Apprenticeship Program.

The BritishA irways
app for Android is the worst airline app I have ever had to use!

A simple example, a booking (with airline booking reference number) is there in my account at ba.com. But it just wont show up in nor can it be added to my account in the app

How to cook the perfect aloo bhorta
This traditional Bengali combination of sticky mashed spuds, onion, chilli and spices punches way above its weight. But is there a definitive version?

So Great Western Railway announces platform 3 for the 0822 from PAD to OXF, we get through the gates and THEN they cancel the train, 3 minutes after announcing the departure platform. Now on 0830 and have to change at RDG. Will be late for my meeting. Pretty useless really.

So to educate vegetarians who in some parts of the world when they say they're vegetarians get served chicken and then when repeating that they're vegetarian get told "It's not meat, it's only chicken." #ChickenIsntMeat 😁

A reminder, from Bangladesh in 1974, of the impact of hunger and famine. Thankfully such hunger hasn't been an issue in Bangladesh for a long time, but has been in other places in recent times.

Why is the coffee so vile on most aeroplane flights? Even basic instant coffee is better than the brown dishwasher most airlines serve.

Ironing -- the act of replacing lots and lots of soft creases with a smaller, but still significant, number of sharp creases!
