Ah ha!

So Ireland wasn't the only place to experience the Polish labour rush.

Good Indian food (and it must be authentic) is hard to come by locally,

Sadly over here most Indian restaurants are buffet style and frankly
warming tray glop dishes depress me.

Naan especially is NOT compatible with a heat lamp or steam tray.
