It was just being built when I was there last year mate,i honestly couldn't see it doing well not with incredible pad thai and streetfood all along the road in Khao san,but who knows,i will see if its still open next time I am there,some brit guys dream.
Why do they put coleslaw on the plate with the chips,whats wrong with mushy-peas?Only once had nice fish and chips in Canada that was at red lobster on merivale in Ottawa.
The nep government wont put a cap on the permits as the country is poor as f**k even the capital city kathmandu looks like a war-zone the rest of the country is far worse,they are desperate for cash.
That's not shocking,far worse stuff happens in the villages away from towns,it just never makes the papers,her story made them as she is a uni student obviously from a family with a couple of taka.
Brits and their chippy's,this ones at the end of khao san road in Bangkok,i used to know a few in Hong Kong pre-97 and when I was working in spain I met a guy opening one to cater for the brits in Javier.
Its all about building their confidence in the water,i was never as fortunate as a kid,i learnt to swim in the river wear avoiding the turds,condoms and disintegrating bog-paper
I cant remember the name of the guy,he was an ozzie of greek extraction,did a DVD on catching great whites from a small boat,but he also did one on shooting fox in Oz,calling them in during daylight,used to get a lot.
Some people are just not natural swimmers Born,i can swim but I am not exactly the man from atlantis,both my kids oddly swim like fish,are super confident in water,both have scuba certification to advanced open water and ones done a free diving course.
I don't know the full details mate,i just got it in an e-mail this morning,i was just flabbergasted at the size of the pile,reminds me of TOMO's rabbit gate line-ups.
Fish and chips is about £25 but its harrods,its more than the food,i was in there maybe 3 weeks ago and saw matt leblanc upstairs,its always nice to wander around and marvel at how the other half live
