chartpolski 20,446 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 My son was the Entry Clearance Officer at the British Cosulate in Saudi, and was tasked with implementing biometric passports in embassies around the world. He loved South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and other countries he went to , but hated every moment he was in India ! He got Delhi Belly badly, hated the filth, the beggars, the caste system, and vowed never to go there again, even if it cost him his job. He lived in Leicester when he was at boarding school, so I thought India wouldn't faze him ! ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post
