Why?

[Sciroccology]

Why do Indian/Chinese restaurants always have an "English dish" on their menu?

Who the hell goes to a curry-house and says "You know what, I really fancy steak and chips"?

I don't get it.

I'll have an omlette! M8
Cue link to Kumars? Enrish restaurant..

It's for the situation where everyone in a group wants Indian/Chinese/whatever except for one awkward sod....

HTH

[king arthur]

Cue references to the "Going for an English" sketch from Goodness Gracious Me.

[Sciroccology]

And why do cashpoints say "Please wait, your money is being counted"?

I only want a tenner, how long does it take to count one note?

Pretty much. It's for the person who gets dragged along to a curry house with a group of mates and who says "but I don't like curry!". They get to have an omelette and chips or, if they're lucky, steak and chips.

You'd need to ask the poor soul that sits inside the machine counting the notes.

Any other random questions?

Yes, like me as all curry looks like a bowl of st to me and tastes horrible.

There's actually a person inside the machine?

That's rubbish. I find it hard to believe there are people who don't like curry.

Yes.

A very small person.

That's cruel. I trust they're well paid.

Not as well as oil tanker drivers.

That "Going for an English" sketch is mildly funny, but there are better.

Alexei Sayle's (I think it was) sketch about Poppadomia - the medical condition where people are unable to correctly estimate the number of pre-meal appetisers they are able to consume - was good.

As was Rowan Atkinson's one may shows of the 80's where he is the Indian waiter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-yW4KlowMo

Well, if it said

"Please wait while we sort a single cheap-arsed tenner from the friggin' huge wad we have wedged in here, and next time have £50 to make it worth the grief, you tight wad"

you would probably feel motivated enough to post on P&P about it.

And why do some people feel the need to secretly video themselves having sex so they can watch it again afterwards?

Baffling...
