Hi Debajyoti, I must add that in my days in India the only thing that was dripping from the Memorial was a metre high stain of betel nut juice, which the local wallas could spray out about a couple of yards.:D cheers scally.

Yeah I know! The blame for 'Painting The Town Red' rests entirely on the Biharis! They are the ones that chew pan and spit out the red juice at the drop of a hat! White skinned people are still treated as E.Ts here! They are gawked at, revered and occasionally molested too!!! Also they get fleeced all too often (they are charged 15 to 20 times the right price everywhere)! So it is better not to flash the cash here. Who knows you may have been ripped-off too! And you didn't tell me whether you lot plan to bid adieu to the United Kingdom for good or not! Waiting for your answer...

I was an engineer officer in the British India Steam Co,who at one time controlled most of the shipping in Calcutta and we enjoyed the best of facilities in the City for a nominal sum, one of the most popular places was the Swimming Club, were one could dine and drink, even though Alcohol was only allowed one day in the week, and if anything I think we were hard on the local traders, but we had our own "Box Wallahs" who visited the ships and supplied ant thing we wanted. As for information en UK unity,I suggest you visit "www.snp.org." for Political information. regards scally.

That's done it then! I visited the site and I'm pretty sure you are all set to kick that British identity for good! Best o' luck on that...even though I don't support it! But hey! It was under the British India Steam co. that you worked and not the Scottish India Steam Co. So remember unity is and always will be regarded as strength!

As for alcohol...very few Indians drink and even fewer drink regularly, my family and I not falling in any of the aforementioned categories!!! So no Box Wallahs for us...
