Thai Wives Club

Dom long ping pong lang a ding dong?
Bromley
Aaaaah Bromley
Kam bong tong long fum pang?
Glasgow
No surely not Glasgow?
Are you sure it's not Edinbra?
No not Edinbra - Glasgow.

The Thai wives were pondering over the demise of one of their number who had sadly been sent to Glasgow whilst they were all whooping it up in Hull. They all had jolly nice handbags and one assumes husbands.

There are no indian restaurants in Hull. There are no indian people in Hull. There are no black people in Hull; William Wilberforce, the local Hull hero, emancipated them all. The provincial quality of Hull really is quite nice unless you fancy a curry that is. The police, who I had to call upon in this emergency, suggested the Thai - I passed them in the street and apologised for treating them like the tourist board. I ended up chatting to the charming English proprietor and his Thai wife til quite late. She insisted on teaching me how to cook a Thai curry and he told me some of the history of Hull and what to look out for. I now have to find Britain's smallest glazed window and Amy Johnson. Wish me luck. Oh and I mustn't foget today's long walk.
