‘sing a jolly tune, look good in tight trousers or kick a ball in the right direction?’

Such a person would be a god among men in the UK now!

VisitBritain has launched a map of the UK detailing the locations of 30 famous Bollywood films.

Surprising… I can count atleast 10 Bolly songs that were shot singularly at Piccadilly Circus. Not much of a variety really.

Anyways a few days ago I was by the South Bank near London Eye, saw a coupla Indian tourists taunting one of those gora bhikaris who’d dressed up as Dumbledore painted in gold. Shit i was soo embarrassed.

Well even the South Indian film industry loves Scotland.

Oh and these are European hotels, I wonder what the results would be of a worldwide survey?

“What are you talking about? Hounslow is the Athens of the north. The Treaty Centre, the bus garage, the Â£1, 99 pence, 98p, 90p and 89p shops, all to be found on one road. A paradise on earth.”

Hey there’s a Costa Coffee and a TK Maxx. Hounslow’s classy these days.

Maybe I’ve got it wrong but I suspect the LP scribes are not “Johnny Foreigners” but our own self-loathing liberal media types?

“Wilkinsonâ€™s (the Hounslow Harrods)”

It’s funny because it’s true.

I really enjoyed ‘Bend it Like Beckham’, though a Goodness Gracious Me tour would be even better (home of Bhangraman etc.).

Who gives a s*** about what Johnny foreigner thinks. We invented football and the grand tour, and for the plebs going to the seaside. Plus a few things in between such as railways, the best way to see the world.

Rumbold, you’ve got me all wrong. I love Hounslow. Royal Sweets, first-name-terms with the Nando’s staff, Wilkinson’s (the Hounslow Harrods) and of course WheelHouse.

I just don’t get why one would want to visit the set of such a shite movie. If they sold Hounslow as the site of the Goodness Gracious Me sketch (about Indian tourists) then I’ll be there.

“Why someone would want to visit the set of Bend it Like Beckham (Molesley FC, Hounslow) … is quite beyond me.”

What are you talking about? Hounslow is the Athens of the north. The Treaty Centre, the bus garage, the Â£1, 99 pence, 98p, 90p and 89p shops, all to be found on one road. A paradise on earth.
