I love dark humour but too soon toto


Good that nobody was hurt. Nevertheless a fire is terrifying for anyone present. Plus the fact that a fire (even a small one) can easily ruin a small business and certainly causes much stress/ distress


Best wishes to everyone involved

I don't think we should be making jokes about such a serious issue. If you think of any more wisecracks, just hold the line for now.

Anyway..


The fire brigade were back this lunchtime.


Evidently the fire brigade removed much of the interia of the kitchen.. last night. Panels and the like to prevent

the fire from breaking out again. There were a lot of people on site this morning. There is a strong smell of smoke / fire even from the outside with the doors shut.

With Insurance Loss Adjusters and fire inspections and refurbing and refitting to be done I would think it will be some time before Tandoori Nights can reopen.

My response was a joke, in case you didn't realise. Music related.. following on from TheCat's previous joke...

Vegetable oil being heated and left unattended .....


Three members of staff left before the arrival of the Brigade .....


The fire was discovered when the owner smelt burning and discovered a fire in the kitchen .....


Oh dear. Doesn't sound good, not least from an insurance point of view.

Twice-yearly deep cleans of extraction units are usually mandatory requirements for insurance purposes. Any restaurant that does not do that is asking for trouble.


I would remind everyone of the River Cafe fire some years back; their extraction was kept clean but a pan flame went too high and was caught by the extraction vents. Air moves through them at high speed andcthis meant the fire was pulled into the whole system in about two seconds. The point is that if flame gets into the extraction it doesn?t really matter how clean it is or not, that?s pretty much game over for the kitchen.


Of course, if it isn?t cleaned regularly then it presents a far greater danger in general, especially to other parts of the building, hence the insurance requirements for thorough, professional cleaning every six months.


I have no idea of Tandoori Nights extraction was cleaned properly, as I can?t be sure what the fire brigade mean by ?large deposits of grease? - though it doesn?t sound good - but I fervently hope it was otherwise they?re in even more trouble.


Leaving oil unattended...idiots.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
