A dodgy kebab, now there's a reminisce. It must be 45 to 50 years ago, I had gone to a client's place in West London, the meeting had gone well, I phoned my wife to tell that I would get a take-away on the way home. There was a rapidly expanding kebab franchise called, The Kebab Machine. Their shops were immaculate, all pristine white tiles, not somewhere you would associate with food poisoning. That kebab that I bought, laid me so low that my wife was about to call an ambulance. And squits! I tell you, I could have $h!t for England.

After several more pints of Guinness my friend introduced me to my first kebab from a salmonella wagon near the centre ... as i recall it was the food of the gods. I don't remember much after that.. the following day i drove home and the last few miles couldn't pass quickly enough ..

The chap then vanished and hasn't paid rent since 2015.. in total there is 110 cars under cover and a couple more outside.. im waiting for permission to have a look and get a few photos...
