The variants of the English language, and the dialects associated with different cultures and regions was brought home to me at the weekend.
We had flyer from a new curry house through the door, the Himalaya, and they had some interesting sounding dishes on the menu. Consequently we decided to give it a go at the weekend.
SWMBO had her usual biriyani, with madras hot sauce, and I by way of a change ordered the Chicken Naga.
It took ages to arrive and I had to ring to remind them, not a good sign. Eventually the food arrived and the biriyani looked great, but imagine my suprise when instead of Chicken Naga I opened up Chicken nuggets and chips.
When I rang up again they said they had trouble understanding my accent...great, like, ay pal.....
