And whilst on the subject of wine...
There is a fantastic Indian restaurant on the Perth Rd in Dundee, right next door to a kebab shop. The (Indian) food is, quite frankly, phenomenally good. So good, in fact, that almost everything else about the place seems to rank null points or less - including the wine list, which seems to be no more than an afterthought on the part of the management. We four ordered wine and found it to be well and truly corked. Called for the manager who, when told the problem, replied: "So what? We didn't make it."

It only was a combination of the promise of the food to come and open-mouthed shock that kept us there. As it happens, we didn't pay for the wine. When he saw that it was still on the table, untouched, at the end of the meal, he took it off the bill. He got big points from me though, just for his bare-faced fuck you-ness.

Dundee?
Which restaurant?
I'm a native, so want to avoid the place.

I'm a frequent visitor...
... so I likewise want to avoid their wine.

Don't know the name....
...but it's next to a Turkish place that has a semi-sculptural shop frontage above the main window (apparently done by a noted artist). Don't avoid the restaurant, just make sure it's a takeaway.

is it the one..
where you go down a small flight of stairs and the carpet is something your Gran once had? If so agree about the food!

Can't remember...
...but we sat at a table just inside the door. It was a small place and the toilets were to be avoided, which was exactly what most people who had used them appeared to have done.
