Broithe Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 This restaurant appears to be real - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6_Ballygunge_Place - even if it sounds like it might be run by Podge and Rodge. From today's Did You Know on Wikipedia...
Broithe Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 Ballygunge???????? Is this for real? Most certainly, it is, Sir. It's in Kolkata - what 'we' used to call Calcutta.
Broithe Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 And, if you want to make a layout, this is Ballygunge Junction railway station.
Broithe Posted February 11, 2016 Author Posted February 11, 2016 (edited) I wondered if it might be pronounced Bally gun ge - but, no, it is Ballygunge. [video=youtube;-m2n4legqHk] Start at 1:24.... Edited February 11, 2016 by Broithe Spelling...
Weshty Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Mmmmmmmmm. Tasty num num. What the hell are they speaking though, Hindi, Parsi, English? Some sort of pidgeon melange of all three? Edited February 13, 2016 by Weshty
Broithe Posted February 13, 2016 Author Posted February 13, 2016 Bengali, I presume. They don't waste time inventing words, just borrow them straight. Most 'Indian' radio stations here give phone numbers in English... .. and they haven't bothered making up a word for 'double-glazing' ..
